Abstract
Dunkl operators are a family of commuting differential–difference operators associated with a finite reflection group. These operators play a key role in the area of harmonic analysis and theory of spherical functions. We study the solution of the inhomogeneous Dunkl polyharmonic equation based on the solutions of Dunkl–Possion equations. Furthermore, we construct the solutions of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems for Dunkl polyharmonic equations without invoking the Green’s function.

1. Introduction
Dunkl operators were introduced by Dunkl [1,2]. These operators are first-order differential–difference operators which generalize partial derivatives. Moreover, they are commuting. Their most important property is invariant under reflections. Based on Dunkl operators, people can construct Dunkl Laplace operators. The Dunkl Laplace operator is the sum of a second-order differential operator, which is used to study models of mechanics [3,4]. In fact, the study of the theory of Dunkl Laplacian operators is a very difficult task. The main reason for this difficulty is that Dunkl Laplace is not invariant under the whole orthogonal group. However, it is the intertwining operator that allows interchange in the Dunkl derivatives with the usual partial derivatives. The property of the operator allows us to establish the structure of the Lie algebra [5,6,7,8]. Based on the Lie algebra structure, we study Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems via the framework of Dunkl analysis in this paper.
The Dirichlet problem (see [9]) is a very important boundary value problem for polyharmonic equations. The solutions of Dirichlet problem and its related problems for polyharmonic equations are given via Green function. Furthermore, the solvability conditions for these problems were also studied in past studies [10,11,12,13]. Neumann boundary value problems, unlike Dirichlet problems, require more restrictions on the boundary conditions and are more complicated [14]. The solutions of the Neumann problem for polyharmonic equations are given via the well-known Almansi formula without invoking the Green’s function [15]. It is the aim of the present paper to extend this idea to study Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems related to Dunkl polyhamonic equations in a different way.
In this paper, we begin with an introduction to Dunkl operators and Dunkl Laplace operators. In the next section, we construct solutions for inhomogeneous Dunkl polyharmonic equations based on the solutions of Dunkl–Possion equation [16]. In Section 4, we investigate Dirichlet problems for Dunkl biharmonic equations. Moreover, we study Dirichlet problems for Dunkl polyharmonic equations in Section 5. In Section 6, we consider solutions of Neumann problem for a non-homogeneous Dunkl polyharmonic equation.
