Generalized Moisil-Théodoresco Systems and Cauchy Integral Decompositions by Ricardo Abreu Blaya, Juan Bory Reyes, Richard Delanghe, Frank Sommen

“…Then, an ℝ0,m+1(r,p,q)-valued smooth function W defined in an open subset Ω⊂ℝm+1 is said to satisfy the generalized Moisil-Théodoresco system of type (r,p,q) if ∂xW=0 in Ω, where ∂x is the Dirac operator in ℝm+1. A structure theorem is proved for such functions, based on the construction of conjugate harmonic pairs. …”
