Multi-vector spherical monogenics, spherical means and distributions in Clifford analysis (Q2581257): Difference between revisions

In the papers by \textit{F. Brackx, R. Delanghe} and \textit{F. Sommen} [Advances in analysis and geometry. New developments using Clifford algebras. Based on the satellite conference to the ICM 2002 in Beijing, Macau, China, August 15-18, 2002. Basel: Birkhäuser. Trends in Mathematics, 65--96 (2004; Zbl 1058.30043) and Chin. Ann. Math., Ser. B 24, No. 2, 133--146 (2003; Zbl 1056.30050)], four sets of distributions \(\text{T}_{\lambda,p},\;\text{U}_{\lambda,p},\;\text{V}_{\lambda,p},\) and \(\text{T}_{\lambda,p},\) with \(\lambda\in \mathbb C\) and \(p\in\mathbb N\), were introduced in \(m\)-dimensional Euclidean space, in the framework of Clifford analysis. The aim of this paper is to introduce new, even more general families of distributions \(\text{T}^{s}_{\lambda,p}\), etc., with \(s\in \mathbb N\), encompassing the previous ones for \(s=1\), by replacing the polynomial \(P_p(\underline \omega)\), a so-called surface spherical monogenic, that is, the restriction to the unit sphere of monogenic homogeneous, vector-valued polynomial \(P_p(x)\) of degree \(p\neq 0\), by an \(s\)-vector one. The construction of the new distributions is based on the generalized spherical means involving a multivector-valued spherical monogenic.
