Abstract: We show that there are {it 13 types} of commutator algebras leading to the new closed forms of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) formula ${\displaystyle }$exp(X)exp(Y)exp(Z)=exp({AX+BZ+CY+DI}) , ${\displaystyle }$ derived in arXiv:1502.06589, JHEP {�f 1505} (2015) 113. This includes, as a particular case, $exp(X)exp(Z)$, with $[X,Z]$ containing other elements in addition to $X$ and $Z$. The algorithm exploits the associativity of the BCH formula and is based on the decomposition $exp(X)exp(Y)exp(Z)=exp(X)exp(alphaY)exp((1-alpha)Y)exp(Z)$, with $alpha$ fixed in such a way that it reduces to $exp(ildeX)exp(ildeY)$, with $ildeX$ and $ildeY$ satisfying the Van-Brunt and Visser condition $[ildeX,ildeY]=ildeuildeX+ildevildeY+ildecI$. It turns out that $e^{a}lpha$ satisfies, in the generic case, an algebraic equation whose exponents depend on the parameters defining the commutator algebra. In nine {it types} of commutator algebras, such an equation leads to rational solutions for $alpha$. We find all the equations that characterize the solution of the above decomposition problem by combining it with the Jacobi identity.
