Abstract: We extend past results on a family of formal power series

K_{n, L a m b d a}

, parameterized by

n

and

L a m b d a s u b s e t e q [n]

, that largely resemble quasisymmetric functions. This family of functions was conjectured to have the property that the product

K_{n, L a m b d a} K_{m, O m e g a}

of any two functions

K_{n, L a m b d a}

and

K_{m, O m e g a}

from the family can be expressed as a linear combination of other functions from the family. In this paper, we show that this is indeed the case and that the span of the

K_{n, L a m b d a}

's forms an algebra. We also provide techniques for examining similar families of functions and a formula for the product

K_{n, L a m b d a} K_{m, O m e g a}

when

n = 1

.
