Abstract

There is a short section describing how Newton’s method works for algebraic problems over Clifford algebras. There are two applications. Zeros of unilateral polynomials over a Clifford algebra in \(\mathbb {R}^8\) and solutions of a Riccati equation over all eight Clifford algebras in \(\mathbb {R}^4\).

Dedicated to Wolfgang Sprößig on the occasion of his 70th birthday
