Regular quaternionic polynomials and their properties

Abstract

Unlike in complex analysis, in all hypercomplex function theories a hypercomplex variable is not monogenic (regular) and there exists a problem to define analogues of positive and negative powers of the complex variable. R. Fueter firstly introduces a system of symmetric regular quaternion polynomials as analogues of positive powers of a complex variable and proves the Taylor theorem in his theory. In Clifford analysis an analogical idea is used. The Fueter symmetric polynomials are both left- and right-regular, the symmetric polynomials in Clifford analysis are also both left- and right-monogenic. In this paper we construct only left-regular quaternion polynomials and show that the theory of regular quaternion functions of a vector valued quaternion variable can be developed using these polynomials.
