Abstract:
Let A be a finite-dimensional, commutative algebra over R or C. We extend the notion of A-differentiable functions on A and develop a theory of A-differentiable functions on finitely generated A-modules. Let U be an open, bounded and convex subset of such a module. We give an explicit formula for A-differentiable functions on U of prescribed class of differentiability in terms of real or complex differentiable functions, in the case when A is singly generated and the module is arbitrary and in the case when A is arbitrary and the module is free. We prove that certain components of A-differentiable function are of higher differentiability than the function itself.
Let M be a constant, square matrix. Using the formula mentioned above, we find a complete description of solutions of the equation grad(w)=Mgrad(v).
We formulate the boundary value problem for generalized Laplace equations M∇2v=∇2vMT and prove that for given boundary data there exists a unique solution, for which we provide a formula.
Keywords:
differentiable functions on algebras, generalised analytic functions, generalised Laplace equations, Banach algebra of A-differentiable functions.
