Appears in collection : Algebraic Structures in Perturbative Quantum Field Theory: a conference in honour of Dirk Kreimer's 60th birthday

We describe how certain analytic Dyson-Schwinger equations and related tree-like equations arise from the universal property of the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra applied to Hopf subalgebras obtained from combinatorial Dyson-Schwinger equations in the work of Foissy. We then show how these equations can be solved as weighted generating functions of certain classes of chord diagrams and obtain an explicit formula counting some of these combinatorial objects.
