Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Clifford Analysis: Theory, Methods, and Multidisciplinary Applications”, offers a curated selection of pioneering research situated at the intersection of algebra, analysis, and geometry. Clifford analysis, as an extension of complex analysis into higher dimensions, provides powerful algebraic and analytical tools for exploring monogenic functions, Dirac-type operators, and the concept of conformal invariance. This Special Issue aims to deepen our understanding of the theoretical foundations of Clifford analysis while showcasing its growing relevance across a range of disciplines.

We welcome contributions that address both the theoretical development and the applied aspects of the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advancements in partial differential equations, hypercomplex function theory, geometric calculus, and their applications in mathematical physics, computer vision, and signal/image processing. By integrating foundational insights with practical methodologies, this Special Issue demonstrates how Clifford algebras provide a cohesive framework that effectively connects the domains of pure and applied mathematics. t is intended as a resource for both specialists in geometric analysis and those exploring novel applications of Clifford theory in broader scientific contexts.

We develop a PDE and boundary integral framework for quaternion-valued fields on product domains ΩH×H governed by the mixed left/right Cauchy–Fueter system We identify the natural compatibility condition and prove local solvability with quantitative H1 estimates, as well as global weak solvability on admissible products Ux×Uy. Motivated by these estimates, we introduce domains of hyperholomorphy and hyper-conjugates for data that are harmonic in each factor (Δxu=Δyu=0), and we establish Carleman-type quantitative unique continuation tools (boundary blow-up, three-balls, and doubling), including a propagation-of-smallness principle across the two factors. On the potential-theoretic side, we construct a double boundary integral representation for biregular fields with kernel K(ξ,η;x,y)=E(ξx)E(yη), establish mapping and jump relations for the associated layer potentials on Lipschitz boundaries, and obtain a Fredholm boundary integral equation for the boundary density in the smooth admissible regime. Finally, we prove a constructive Runge approximation theorem on admissible products and outline a practical discretization workflow consistent with the analysis. Full article

Motivation. Analytic function theory on commutative complex extensions calls for an operator–theoretic calculus that simultaneously sees the algebra-induced coupling among components and supports boundary-to-interior mechanisms. Gap. While Dirac-type frameworks are classical in several complex variables and Clifford analysis, a coherent calculus aligning structural CR systems, a canonical first derivative, and a Cauchy-type boundary identity on the commutative model C(C)C4 has not been systematically developed. Purpose and Aims. This paper develops such a calculus for O-regular mappings on C(C) and establishes three pillars of the theory. Main Results. (i) A fully coupled Cauchy–Riemann system characterizing O-regularity; (ii) identification of a canonical first derivative g(z)=x0g(z); and (iii) a Stokes-driven boundary annihilation law Ωτg=0 for a canonical 7-form τ. On (pseudo)convex domains, ¯-methods yield solvability under natural compatibility and regularity assumptions. Stability (under algebra-preserving maps), Liouville-type, and removability results are also obtained, and function spaces suited to this algebra are outlined. Significance. The results show that a large portion of the classical holomorphic toolkit survives, in algebra-aware form, on C(C). Full article
