On a version of quaternionic function theory related to Chebyshev polynomials and modified Sturm-Liouville operators (Q2792385)

Applying the prolate spheroidal change of variables to the three-dimensional Helmholtz operator, an operator \(\mathcal{W}\) is obtained. This operator is the sum of two modified Sturm-Liouville operators and a Chebychev operator, each of which acts on functions of one variable. Furthermore, the operator \(\mathcal{W}\) can be decomposed into a product of two first-order partial differential operators, \(\mathcal{D}_k\) and \(\overline{\mathcal{D}}_k\), with quaternionic variable coefficients.NEWLINENEWLINEThen a \(\mathcal{D}_k\)-hyperholomorphic function is defined to be a complex quaternionic function, \(g,\) that satisfies \(\mathcal{D}_k[g]=0\). This class of functions plays the same role for the operator \(\mathcal{W}\) as the hyperholomorphic functions of Clifford analysis play for the corresponding Laplace operator. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE For this class of functions, the following are obtained: the Stokes' formula, the Borel-Pompeiu formula, the Cauchy integral formula, the Morera theorem and also the right inverse for the Cauchy-Riemann operator.NEWLINENEWLINEMoreover, \(\mathcal{D}_k\)-hyperholomorphic functions and \(\mathcal{D}_k\)-anti-hyperholomorphic functions can be obtained from the null solutions of the modified Sturm-Liouville operators and of the Chebychev operator.
