The aim of this article is to consider in higher-dimensional Clifford algebras elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic operators, which are related to Helmholtz, Yukawa, Klein-Gordon, Maxwell, Dirac and heat equations. The author consider the disturbed Cauchy-Riemann equation \(\overline\partial u+\widetilde uh= 0\), where \(\overline\partial= \sum^n_{k= 0} \partial_k e_k\), \(h\) a constant vectorial coefficient and \(\widetilde u\) the main involution in the corresponding Clifford algebra. The reflection principle of Riemann-Schwarz could be obtained as well as formulae of Poincaré-Bertrand type. Hobsen's problem for the half space could be solved. The Beltrami equation of \(Cl_{0,n}\) is formulated and a two-dimensional generalization observed in more detail. Then elliptic and hyperbolic operators are discussed. For this reason corresponding Clifford algebras of the type \(Cl_{p,q}\) are used. Among the equations under consideration we have the initial value problems for the Klein-Gordon equation, the hyperbolic Beltrami equation and Maxwell equations. Using Clifford-Grassmann algebras two different kinds of parabolic systems are studied. So this article contains plenty of interesting problems which can be advantageously treated with the help of Clifford analysis. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0930.00044].
