Cauchy-Kowalevski extensions and monogenic plane waves using spherical monogenics

Clifford analysis may be regarded as a direct and elegant generalization to higher dimensions of the theory of holomorphic functions in the complex plane, centred around the notion of monogenic function, i.e. a null solution of the Dirac operator. This paper dealswith axial and biaxialmonogenic functions containing sphericalmonogenics. They are constructed bymeans of two fundamentalmethods of Clifford analysis, namely the Cauchy-Kowalevski extension and monogenic plane waves.
