This monograph treats classical complex analysis problems considered for toric varieties. These problems were originally posed and solved on complex n-spaces; and they are very difficult if considered for an arbitrary complex manifold. The author describes the Hartogs and the Hartogs-Bochner extension phenomena in smooth toric varieties and their connection with the first cohomology group with compact supports. The main problem with compact sets, which appear in the Hartogs phenomena, is that a compact set cut into a particular coordinate patch does not have to remain compact. Therefore, a...

For many years Leonard Bolc has played an important role in the Polish computer science community. He is especially known for his clear vision in the development of artificial intelligence, inspiring research, organizational and editorial achievements in areas such as e.g.: logic, automatic reasoning, natural language processing, and computer applications of natural language or human-like reasoning.

This Festschrift volume, published to honor Leonard Bolc on his 75th birthday includes 17 refereed papers by leading researchers, his friends, former students and colleagues to celebrate...
