Abstract

In this paper we discuss the local solvability of the inhomogeneous Beltrami equations in Quaternionic Analysis. We give an example of a Beltrami equation with no distributional solution and deduce the compatibility condition. This study is closely linked to the study of Dirac operators with non-constant coefficients.
