1. Introduction
The development of the theory of bases in Clifford analysis has indicated its growing relevance in various mathematics and mathematical physics fields. The concept of basic sets (bases) in one complex variable was initially discovered by Whittaker [
1,
2], and the effectiveness terminology was proposed. In this context, a significant contribution was made by Cannon [
3,
4], who proved the necessary and sufficient conditions for a base to possess a finite radius of regularity and to generate entire functions. In [
5], Boas introduced several effectiveness criteria for entire functions.
Despite the fact that our current study has a theoretical framework, the theory of basic sets finds its utility in applications and, in particular, to solve differential equations for real-life phenomena, as indicated in [
6,
7,
8]. Several approaches have been pursued in generalizing the theory of classical complex functions. Among these generalizations are the theory of several complex variables and the matrix approach [
9,
10,
11]. The crucial development of the hypercomplex theory derived from higher-dimensional analysis involving Clifford algebra is called Clifford analysis. In the last decades, Clifford analysis has proved to have substantial influence as an elegant and powerful extension of the theory of holomorphic functions in one complex variable to the Euclidean space of more than two dimensions. The theory of monogenic functions created a solution for a Dirac equation or s generalized Cauchy–Riemann system, both of which are related to Riesz systems [
12]. In a complex setting, holomorphic functions can be described by their differentiability or series expansion for approximations. Accordingly, exploring such representations of monogenic functions in higher-dimensional space is critical. Abul-Ez and Constales [
13] initiated the study of extending Whittaker’s base of polynomials in complex analysis into the context of Clifford analysis as a base of SMPs, which is a Hamel basis of linear space for all SMPs with Clifford-valued coefficients. In [
13,
14], the authors proved that the basic set is effective in the convergence domain when an SMF,
f, can be represented in terms of a set of SMPs with some conditions. The characterization of the effectiveness property (Clifford–Cannon theorem) was determined for closed balls [
13]. Locally representing a monogenic function in terms of a base of monogenic polynomials is a subject of great interest. Accordingly, the problem of replacing such a base without changing the radius of convergence restricts the class of monogenic functions to the so-called SMFs. Although straightforward generalizations may seem possible, the proof of the Cannon theorem regarding effectiveness (see [
13]) in an
n-dimensional domain is quite complicated. Abul-Ez and Constales [
13,
14] narrowed the study of the representation of monogenic functions to axially symmetric domains, which they called axially (special) monogenic functions.
A rich treatment of polynomial bases combining the functional and Clifford analyses was proposed [
15], where a criterion of a general type for the effectiveness of bases in Fréchet modules was constructed in various regions. Accordingly, these authors of [
15] studied effectiveness in open and closed balls and offered a remarkable method of application of approximation theory to expand some Clifford-valued functions in terms of an infinite series of Cannon sets of SMPs. A new extension of the well-known Ruscheweyh derivative operator was introduced in [
16], where the representation of certain special monogenic functions in different regions of convergence was investigated in Fréchet modules. The previously mentioned treatment generalizes the results in the complex and Clifford settings given in [
10,
13,
17]. In [
18], the authors established an expansion of a particular monogenic function in terms of generalized monogenic Bessel polynomials (GMBPs). Additionally, they proved that the GMBPs are solutions of second-order homogeneous differential equations.
As is the case in complex analyses, it is of great importance to examine when the product of special monogenic polynomials is effective in the theory of bases in Clifford analysis. It is not very surprising that the product of two effective bases does not maintain effectiveness, as shown in [
19], where the authors studied the effectiveness of the product of simple bases. Recently, in [
20], a generalization of the product base for functions with bounded radii of convergence was investigated. The inverse of an effective base does not need to be effective [
21]. Consequently, it is interesting to derive a new base of SMPs from given bases and examine how the convergence properties (region of effectiveness) of the derived base and the original bases are related. In alignment with this approach, researchers have studied the effectiveness of various constructed bases of SMPs, such as the inverse base [
21], Hadamard product base [
22], Bernoulli and Euler bases [
23], general Bessel base [
18], and Chebyshev base [
24]. Numerous results concerning the polynomial bases in one complex variable were generalized to the Clifford context [
16,
25]. The notion of the mode of increase of special monogenic functions was initially introduced in [
13]. In [
26], the authors determined the order and type of the coefficients in the Taylor expansion of entire axially monogenic functions. Related contributions to the investigation of the order of bases can be found in [
27,
28].
Motivated by the previous discussion, this paper defines a new base of polynomials: the equivalent base in the Clifford setting in the sense of Fréchet modules. After constructing this base in terms of three constituents (the factors), we characterize the convergence properties of the equivalent base in closed balls, open balls, at the origin, and for all entire SMFs by considering specific types of constituent bases, such as simple monic bases, simple bases, and nonsimple bases, with some restrictions on the coefficients. Furthermore, knowing the orders of the constituent bases, the upper and lower bounds of the equivalent base are assessed, and two examples demonstrating the attainability of these bounds are provided. We establish the property of the equivalent base of SMPs.
The structure of the paper is organized as follows.
Section 2 provides the essential definitions and results on Clifford algebra and SMPs in Fréchet modules. The concept of equivalent bases is defined and constructed in
Section 3.
Section 4 details the effectiveness properties of the equivalent base. We study the effectiveness when the constituent bases are simple monic bases, simple bases with normalizing conditions, nonsimple bases with restrictions on the degree of the bases, or algebraic bases. The upper and lower bounds of the order of the equivalent base are determined and proved attainable in
Section 5.
Section 6 deals with the
property of the equivalent base of SMPs in open balls. We conclude the paper by summarizing the results and suggesting open problems for further study.

Now, we state the definition of a Fréchet module (F-module) as follows.
Definition 2. An F-module E oversatisfies the following properties:
- (i)
E is a Hausdorff space,
- (ii)
E is a topology induced by a countable set of a proper system of semi-norms such that . This implies that is open if and only if for all , there exists such that
- (iii)

In the following Table 1, each indicated space represents an F-module depending on the countable set of a proper system of associated semi-norms. Definition 4. A sequence of an F-module E is said to form a base if admits a right -unique representation of the form The Clifford matrix is the operator’s matrix of the base . The base can be written as follows: The Clifford matrix is called the coefficient matrix of the base . According to [13], the set will be a base if and only ifwhere I denotes the unit matrix. Let

E. Substituting for
from (

where
Remark 2. Representation (5) is the most important series in Clifford analysis because, as we shall see, their sums are SMFs, and every SMF can be represented by basic series. Basic series generalize Taylor series, where in (5) can be Legendre, Laguerre, Chebychev, Hermite, Bessel, Bernoulli, or Euler polynomials [18,23]. Definition 5. A base is effective for an F-module E if the basic series (5) converges normally to every element . Applying Definition 5, we can take the F-module E to be the space . Thus, the base will be effective for if the basic series converges normally to every SMF that is specially monogenic in . A similar inclusion criteria can be applied for the spaces and . When R tends to infinity in , the definition of effectiveness yields effectiveness for , which means that the basic series converges normally to every complete SMF on the whole space . Moreover, when R tends to zero in , the definition of effectiveness yields effectiveness for , which means that the basic series converges normally to every SMF that is specially monogenic there.

Definition 8. The order of a base in a Clifford setting was defined in [13,14] by Determining the order of a base allows us to realize that if the base has a finite order, , then it represents every complete SMF of an order less than in any finite ball.
6. The Property of the Equivalent Base of SMPs
In this section, we construct the
property of equivalent bases of special monogenic polynomials in the open ball
. First, we recall the definition of the
property as given in [
27], as follows.
Definition 10. Let . Then, a base has the property in an open ball if it represents all entire special monogenic functions of an order less than ρ in

and
Using (
58)–(
60), and Cauchy’s inequality, the Cannon sum for the equivalent base
is
Taking the upper limit, we obtain the function

, as required. □
Example 3. Consider the three simple monic bases of polynomials where as follows: It is easily seen that , , and .
Therefore, the bases have a property, property, and property in for and respectively.
Now, we construct the equivalent base as follows: Hence,i.e., the equivalent base has a property in . 7. Conclusions and Future Work
This paper employs the definition of the product base of SMPs to construct a new base called the equivalent base in Fréchet modules in the Clifford setting. The convergence properties of the derived base were treated for different classes of bases. Within this study, we indicate which type of restrictions we should consider on the coefficients to justify the effectiveness properties of the equivalent base in various regions of convergence, such as open balls, closed balls, at the origin, and for all entire SMFs. Furthermore, given the orders of the constituent bases, we determined the lower and upper bounds of the order of the equivalent base. Moreover, the property of the equivalent base is determined in the case of simple monic bases, which are promising for characterizing this property for more general bases.
Looking back to our constructed base,
and by taking
, a similar base
can be considered a special case of the equivalent base
, reflecting that the results in the current study generalize the corresponding results in [
33].
This study encourages the provision of answers to other open problems regarding the representations of entire functions in several complex variables. We believe that the results in this study are likely to hold in the setting of several complex matrices in different convergence regions, such as hyperspherical, polycylindrical, and hyperelliptical regions.
Recently, the authors of [
18] proved that the Bessel special monogenic polynomials are effective for the space
, and the authors of [
24] proved that the Chebychey polynomials is effective for the space
. The Bernoulli special monogenic polynomials are proved to have an order of 1 and a type
, while the Euler special monogenic polynomials have an order of 1 and a type
(see [
23]). Demonstrating how the convergence properties involve the effectiveness, order, and type of the different constructed bases we have mentioned above, as well as the corresponding aspects of the original bases and, in particular, the well-known special polynomial bases, is one of the most challenging subjects to explore. The proposed methodological weakness is that the work lacks practical application. However, in upcoming research, it will be interesting to study concrete applications of mathematical physics problems, such as Legendre polynomials and their relation to solutions of the Dirac equation and its other formulation as the spinor functions, as well as in curved space–time, which has many applications in quantum mechanics.
