Streszczenie
The present paper addresses the problem of attainment of the supremums in various equivalent definitions of the hereditary density ${\rm hd}$ and hereditary Lindelöf degree ${\rm hL}$ of Boolean algebras. We partially answer two problems of J. Donald Monk [13, Problems 50, 54], showing consistency of different attainment behaviour and proving that (for the variants considered) this is the best result we can expect.
