Mellin transforms over Cayley-Dickson algebras (Q951711)

The author uses Cayley-Dickson algebras \({\mathcal A}_r\), generated for \(2 \leq r \in \mathbb{N}\) by \(\{i_1, i_2, \dots,i_{2^r -1}\}\) such that \(i_j^2 = -1\) and \(i_j i_k = - i_k i_j\) for any \(1 \leq j \not = k \leq 2^r -1\). For \(r=2\) we have \({\mathcal A}_2 = \mathbb{H}\), the quaternions, and for \(r=3\) \({\mathcal A}_3\) is the algebra of octonions. A complicated kernel function \(u(p,t;\zeta)\) is defined with \(p, \zeta \in {\mathcal A}_r, t \in \mathbb{R}\). The function-original \(g : (0,\infty) \to {\mathcal A}_r\) has to be Hölder continuous with at most finitely many discontinuities of the first kind and is assumed to vanish faster than a power of \(\tau\) for \(\tau \to 0,\infty\). The Mellin transformation \[ {\mathcal M}(g,u;p;\zeta) = \int_0^\infty g(\tau)\exp[-u(-p,\ln \tau;-\zeta)]\tau^{-1}\,d\tau \] is studied, e.g. it is proved to be holomorphic with respect to \(p\) and \(\zeta\) in convenient domains, and the relation to the transformation of \(g'\) is given.
