On bisymmetric operators on a finite chain

The bisymmetry property is studied for operators defined on a finite chain. In particular, a characterization of all bisymmetric, commutative and smooth binary operators is given. It is deduced from this characterization that bisymmetry and associativity are equivalent for finite chains, under these additional conditions.
