This monograph is devoted to various types of algebras of functions with n variables. It is the first complete monograph (in English) on this topic, covering mainly the Russian literature. It is addressed to all algebraists working in the area of universal algebras, semigroup theory, etc. It is also a useful source of information for graduate and Ph D students who are starting their research in this area.
The book is the first monograph in the English mathematical literature which provides readers with a very systematical study of the notion of Menger algebras, and its generalizations and applications. The results presented here were originally published mostly in the Russian literature: In 2006, the first version of this book was edited in Russian and it is now presented in an extended version, where two new and very important chapters are added. The monograph is a broad survey of unknown or little-known Russian literature on algebras of multiplace functions and presents to the mathematical community a beautiful and strongly developing theory.
