Abstract
We establish a general direct decomposition of modules and then, using this decomposition, prove representations of the Sobolev-Clifford modules as the sums of submodules of monogenic and comonogenic functions. We also show how the decompositions obtained can be applied to solving Stokes-type nonlinear variational problems.
