Honorary Special Issue Dedicated to Prof. Anatolii Asirovich Gol’dberg (1930–2008)

Dear Colleagues,

Anatolii Asirovich Gol’dberg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolii_Goldberg and https://www.math.purdue.edu/~eremenko/dvi/official.pdf) was a Soviet, Ukrainian and Israeli mathematician, and a full professor at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (1965–1997) and Bar-Illan University (1997-2008). He was a founder of the Lviv school in complex analysis. Gol’dberg, jointly with the Kharkiv mathematicians I.V. Ostrovskii and B.Ya. Levin, was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in 1992.

Anatolii Asirovich Gol’dberg was born on April 2 1930, in Kyiv, USSR. Gol’dberg graduated from secondary school in 1947, after which he entered the Department of Physics and Mathematics of Lviv University and graduated from the university in 1952 (with the Soviet equivalent of an MS degree).

The successful defense of the thesis in 1955 made it possible for Gol’dberg to obtain a position of docent at the recently organized Uzhgorod University. In 1963, Gol’dberg received the same position at the much higher-regarded Lviv University, and in 1965, he completed his doctoral thesis, a fundamental opus of more than 600 pages.

In 1965, Gol’dberg began his seminar at the Mathematics Department of Lviv University, every Tuesday for two hours. Almost all of Lviv’s mathematician results related to the theory of entire and meromorphic functions were thoroughly considered and discussed at the seminars.

Among his main achievements were:

• The construction of meromorphic functions with infinitely many deficient values;
• The solution of the inverse problem of Nevanlinna theory for finitely many deficient values;
• The development of the integral with respect to a semiadditive measure.

This Special Issue commemorates Gol’dberg’s fifteenth death anniversary and sixtieth anniversary of the start of his work in Lviv University, with a selection of articles in complex analysis written by authors who work in Gol’dberg’s research fields, some of whom have been influenced by his results and/or have collaborated with him.
