Abstract: Space-time multivectors in Clifford algebra (space-time algebra) and their application to nonlinear electrodynamics are considered. Functional product and infinitesimal operators for translation and rotation groups are introduced, where unit pseudoscalar or hyperimaginary unit is used instead of imaginary unit. Basic systems of orthogonal functions (plane waves, cylindrical, and spherical) for space-time multivectors are built by using the introduced infinitesimal operators. Appropriate orthogonal decompositions for electromagnetic field are presented. These decompositions are applied to nonlinear electrodynamics. Appropriate first order equation systems for cylindrical and spherical radial functions are obtained. Plane waves, cylindrical, and spherical solutions to the linear electrodynamics are represented by using the introduced orthogonal functions. A decomposition of a plane wave in terms of the introduced spherical harmonics is obtained.
