Abstract

Let \(\Omega \) be a domain in the space of quaternions \(\mathbb{H}\), namely, an open connected subset of \(\mathbb{H} = \mathbb{R} + i\mathbb{R} + j\mathbb{R} + k\mathbb{R}\) and let

$$\mathbb{S} =\{ q \in\mathbb{H} : {q}^{2} = -1\}$$

denote the 2-sphere of quaternionic imaginary units. We define the notion of regular function as follows.
