Dendriform algebras form a category of algebras recently introduced by Loday. A dendriform algebra is a vector space endowed with two nonassociative binary operations satisfying some relations. Any dendriform algebra is an algebra over the dendriform operad, the Koszul dual of the diassociative operad. We introduce here, by adopting the point of view and the tools offered by the theory of operads, a generalization on a nonnegative integer parameter $γ$ of dendriform algebras, called $γ$-polydendriform algebras, so that $1$-polydendriform algebras are dendriform algebras. For that, we consider the operads obtained as the Koszul duals of the $γ$-pluriassociative operads introduced by the author in a previous work. In the same manner as dendriform algebras are suitable devices to split associative operations into two parts, $γ$-polydendriform algebras seem adapted structures to split associative operations into $2γ$ operation so that some partial sums of these operations are associative. We provide a complete study of the $γ$-polydendriform operads, the underlying operads of the category of $γ$-polydendriform algebras. We exhibit several presentations by generators and relations, compute their Hilbert series, and construct free objects in the corresponding categories. We also provide consistent generalizations on a nonnegative integer parameter of the duplicial, triassociative and tridendriform operads, and of some operads of the operadic butterfly.
