    Abstract

    We study monoids generated by Zariski-van Kampen generators in the 17
    fundamental groups of the complement of logarithmic free divisors in C^3 listed
    by Sekiguchi (Theorem 1). Five of them are Artin monoids and eight of them are
    free abelian monoids. The remaining four monoids are not Gaussian and, hence,
    are neither Garside nor Artin (Theorem 2). However, we introduce, similarly to
    Artin monoids, fundamental elements and show their existence (Theorem 3). One
    of the four non-Gaussian monoids satisfies the cancellation condition (Theorem
    4).
