ABSTRACT
Multidimensional noncommutative Laplace transforms over octonions are studied. Theorems about direct and inverse
transforms and other properties of the Laplace transforms over the Cayley-Dickson algebras are proved. Applications to
partial differential equations including that of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic type are investigated. Moreover, partial
differential equations of higher order with real and complex coefficients and with variable coefficients with or without
boundary conditions are considered.
Keywords: Laplace Transform; Quaternion Skew Field; Octonion Algebra; Cayley-Dickson Algebra; Partial
Differential Equation; Non-Commutative Integration
1. Introduction
The Laplace transform over the complex field is already
classical and plays very important role in mathematics
including complex analysis and differential equations [1-
3]. The classical Laplace transform is used frequently for
ordinary differential equations and also for partial dif-
ferential equations sufficiently simple to be resolved, for
example, of two variables. But it meets substantial dif-
ficulties or does not work for general partial differential
equations even with constant coefficients especially for
that of hyperbolic type.
To overcome these drawbacks of the classical Laplace
transform in the present paper more general noncom-
mutative multiparameter transforms over Cayley-Dick-
son algebras are investigated. In the preceding paper a
noncommutative analog of the classical Laplace trans-
form over the Cayley-Dickson algebras was defined and
investigated [4]. This paper is devoted to its generali-
zations for several real parameters and also variables in
the Cayley-Dickson algebras. For this the preceding re-
sults of the author on holomorphic, that is (super) dif-
ferentiable functions, and meromorphic functions of the
Cayley-Dickson numbers are used [5,6]. The super-dif-
ferentiability of functions of Cayley-Dickson variables is
stronger than the Fréchet's differentiability. In those works
also a noncommutative line integration was investigated.
We remind that quaternions and operations over them
had been first defined and investigated by W. R. Ha-
milton in 1843 [7]. Several years later on Cayley and
Dickson had introduced generalizations of quaternions
known now as the Cayley-Dickson algebras [8-11]. These
algebras, especially quaternions and octonions, have found
applications in physics. They were used by Maxwell,
Yang and Mills while derivation of their equations, which
they then have rewritten in the real form because of the
insufficient development of mathematical analysis over
such algebras in their time [12-14]. This is important,
because noncommutative gauge fields are widely used in
theoretical physics [15].
Each Cayley-Dickson algebra r
A
over the real field
R has 2r generators
01 21
,, ,r
ii i
such that 0=1i,
2=1
j

for each =1,2,,21

r
kj
 , where 1r. The algebra 1r
A
is
formed from the preceding algebra r
A
with the help of
the so-called doubling procedure by generator 2r
i. In par-
ticular, 1=
A
C coincides with the field of complex
numbers, 2=
H is the skew field of quaternions, 3
A
is the algebra of octonions, 4
A
is the algebra of seden-
ions. This means that a sequence of embeddings
1rr
AA
  exists.
Generators of the Cayley-Dickson algebras have a
natural physical meaning as generating operators of
fermions. The skew field of quaternions is associative,
and the algebra of octonions is alternative. The Cayley-
Dickson algebra r
A
is power associative, that is,
=
nmn m

for each ,nm N and r
zA. It is non-
associative and non-alternative for each 4r. A

r
zA is associated with the norm 2**

.
The octonion algebra has the multiplicative norm and is
the division algebra. Cayley-Dickson algebras r
A
with
4r are not division algebras and have not multi-
plicative norms. The conjugate of any Cayley-Dickson
number z is given by the formula:
(M1) **
:=zl
.
The multiplication in 1r

lowing equation:

At the beginning of this article a multiparameter non-
commutative transform is defined. Then new types of the
direct and inverse noncommutative multiparameter trans-
forms over the general Cayley-Dickson algebras are in-
vestigated, particularly, also over the quaternion skew
field and the algebra of octonions. The transforms are
considered in r
A
spherical and r
A
Cartesian coordi-
nates. At the same time specific features of the noncom-
mutative multiparameter transforms are elucidated, for
example, related with the fact that in the Cayley-Dickson
algebra r
A
there are 21
r imaginary generators

121
,,
r
ii
apart from one in the field of complex num-
bers such that the imaginary space in r
A
has the di-
mension 21
r. Theorems about properties of images
and originals in conjunction with the operations of linear
combinations, differentiation, integration, shift and ho-
mothety are proved. An extension of the noncommuta-
tive multiparameter transforms for generalized functions is
given. Formulas for noncommutative transforms of pro-
ducts and convolutions of functions are deduced.
Thus this solves the problem of non-commutative ma-
thematical analysis to develop the multiparameter Lap-
lace transform over the Cayley-Dickson algebras. More-
over, an application of the noncommutative integral trans-
forms for solutions of partial differential equations is
described. It can serve as an effective means (tool) to
solve partial differential equations with real or complex
coefficients with or without boundary conditions and
their systems of different types (see also [16]). An algo-
rithm is described which permits to write fundamental
solutions and functions of Green’s type. A moving bound-
ary problem and partial differential equations with dis-
continuous coefficients are also studied with the use of
the noncommutative transform.
Frequently, references within the same subsection are
given without number of the subsection, apart from
references when subsection are different.
All results of this paper are obtained for the first time.

Formulas 1(7) and 2(4) define the right multipa-
rameter transform. Symmetrically is defined a left multi-
parameter transform. They are related by conjugation and
up to a sign of basic generators. For real valued originals
they certainly coincide. Henceforward, only the right
multiparameter transform is investigated.
Particularly, if
01

1

tative Laplace transforms 1(7) and 2(4) reduce to the
complex case, with parameters 1

integral specified by the left algorithm this antiderivative
is unique up to a constant from r

with the given

of the function
[4-6]. On the
other hand, for analytic functions with real expansion
coefficients in their power series non-commutative in-
tegrals specified by left or right algorithms along straight
lines coincide with usual Riemann integrals by the
corresponding variables. The functions

sin z,
cos z
and
z
e participating in the multiparameter non-com-
mutative transform are analytic with real expansion co-
efficients in their series by powers of r
zA.
Using Formula 4(1) we reduce the consideration to
Uvtft
instead of
f
t. By symmetry properties
of such domains and integrals and utilizing change of
variables it is sufficient to consider v
U with
=1, ,1v. In this case n
R

meter non-commutative transform 1(7) and 2(4) reduces
to 00
. Therefore, we consider in this proof below
the domain 1, ,1
U only. Using Formulas 3(3,3.1) and
2(1,2,2.1) we mention that any real algebra with

The transform

f
is the holomorphic function by

, since the right side of Equation 19(5) is holo-
morphic by p in
f
W and by
in view of Theorem
4. Equation 19(5) implies, that Theorems 11-13 are
accomplished also for generalized functions.
For 11

convex in n

a boundary U of U satisfies Conditions (i-v) and,
vii) let the orientations of k
U and k
U be con-
sistent for each kN (see Proposition 2 and Definition
3 [19]).
Particularly, the Riemann volume element λk on k
U
is consistent with the Lebesgue measure on k
U induced
from n
R for each k. This induces the measure
on
U
as in (v).
Also the boundary conditions are imposed:

U

. Using partial differentiation in
local coordinates on U
and (5) one can calculate in
principle all other boundary conditions in (4) almost
everywhere on U
.
Suppose that a domain 1
U and its boundary 1
U
satisfy Conditions (D1, i-vii) and 11
=U
gg
is an ori-
ginal on n
R with its support in 1
U. Then any original g
on n
R gives the original 2
2=:
U
g
g
on n
R, where
21

URU
. Therefore, 12
g
g is the original on n
R,
when 1
g
and 2
g
are two originals with their supports
contained in 1
U and 2
U correspondingly. Take now
new domain U satisfying Conditions (D1, i-vii) and
(D2-D3):
D2) 1
UU
and 1
UU
 ;
D3) if a straight line
containing a point 1
w (see
(vi)) intersects 1
U
at two points 1
y and 2
y, then
only one point either 1
y or 2
y belongs to U
, where
11
wU
, 1
Uw
and 11
Uw
are convex; if
in-
tersects 1
U
only at one point, then it intersects U
at the same point. That is,
D4) any straight line
through the point 1
w either
does not intersect U
or intersects the boundary U
only at one point.
Take now
g
with

s
upp gU, then
1
1
U
s
upp gU
. Therefore, any problem (1) on 1
U
can be considered as the restriction of the problem (1)
defined on U, satisfying (D1-D4, i-vii). Any solution
f
of (1) on U with the boundary conditions on U
gives the solution as the restriction 1
U
f
on 1
U with
the boundary conditions on U.
Henceforward, we suppose that the domain U satis-
fies Conditions (D1,D4, i-vii, which are rather mild and
natural. In particular, for n
Q this means that either
=
k
a
or =
k

The analogous procedure is for Equation (14) with the

Certainly in the real and complex cases at each point p,

Thus on each step either two or four indeterminates are
calculated and substituted into the initial linear algebraic
system that gives new linear algebraic system with a
number of indeterminates less on two or four respe-
ctively. May be pairwise resolution on each step is
simpler, because the denominator of the type
22
should be 2r
almost everywhere by r
pA positive
(see (6), (14) above). This algorithm acts analogously to
the Gauss’ algorithm. Finally the last two or four inde-
terminates remain and they are found with the help of
Formulas either (17) or (19) respectively. When for a
marked h in (6) or (14) all

=0 2
h

only 1

or for some >1h all

=0 4
h
lmod (remains only
1

) a system of linear equations as in (13,13.1)
simplifies.
Thus a solution of the type prescribed by (8) generally
1n
almost everywhere by pW exists, where W
