Abstract
This paper solves the Dirichlet boundary value problem of distinguishing domains for Clifford fractional–monogenic functions in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) for fixed n, in the Riemann–Liouville sense. To do so, we use a matrix representation of the Clifford algebras. This allows us to construct computational algorithms that efficiently perform the calculations necessary to guarantee the existence of a solution for the Dirichlet boundary value problem over a properly distinguished domain. Finally, we show some explicit solutions for the Dirichlet boundary problem in \(\mathbb {R}^{3}\).
