Almansi‐type theorems in Clifford analysis (Q4795150)

The authors consider functions defined in a star-like domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n\) with values in the Clifford algebra \(C\ell_{0,n}\) which are polymonogenic with respect to the (left) Dirac operator \(D=\sum_{j=1}^n e_j\partial /\partial x_j\), i.e. they belong to the kernel of \(D^k\). They prove that any polymonogenic function \(f\) has a decomposition of the form \[ f=f_1+xf_2+...+x^{k-1}f_k \] , where \(x=x_1e_1+...+x_ne_n\) and \(f_j\), \(j=1,...,k\), are monogenic functions. This generalizes the classical Almansi theorem for polyharmonic functions as well as the Fischer decomposition of polynomials. Similar results are obtained for the powers of weighted Dirac operators of the form \(\tilde D=| x| ^{-\alpha}xD\), \(\alpha \in \mathbb R\setminus \{0\}\).
