Higher order gradients of monogenic functions (Q2061525): Difference between revisions

Monogenic functions play an essential role in hypercompelex analysis. In this paper it is shown that the interated action of the gradient \(\nabla\) of a monogenic functions \(f\) satisfies that \(|\nabla^m f|^{\alpha}\) is subharmonic for some \(\alpha>0\). Moreover, the optimal value of \(\alpha\) is found in quaternionic, octonionic and Clifford analysis settings. The obtained results generalize a result due to \textit{A. P. Calderon} and \textit{A. Zygmund} [Antoni Stud. Math. 24, 211--226 (1964; 0168.37002)].
