    In this paper, we develop the basic concepts for a generalized Wiman-Valiron theory for Clifford algebra valued functions that satisfy inside an n + 1-dimensional ball the higher dimensional Cauchy-Riemann system . These functions are called monogenic or Clifford holomorphic inside the ball. We introduce growth orders, the maximum term and a generalization of the central index for monogenic Taylor series of finite convergence radius. Our goal is to establish explicit relations between these entities in order to estimate the asymptotic growth behavior of a monogenic function in a ball in terms of its Taylor coefficients. Furthermore, we exhibit a relation between the growth order of such a function f and the growth order of its partial derivatives

    On a generalization of Valiron's inequality for k-hypermonogenic functions on upper half-space

    We present some results on the asymptotic growth behavior of periodic k-hypermonogenic functions on upper half-space. A generalization of the classical Valiron inequality for this class of functions and some basic properties are discussed

    Replica-symmetric solutions of a dilute Ising ferromagnet in a random field

    We use the replica method in order to obtain an expression for the variational free energy of an Ising ferromagnet on a Viana-Bray lattice in the presence of random external fields. Introducing a global order parameter, in the replica-symmetric context, the problem is reduced to the analysis of the solutions of a nonlinear integral equation. At zero temperature, and under some restrictions on the form of the random fields, we are able to perform a detailed analysis of stability of the replica-symmetric solutions. In contrast to the behaviour of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model for a spin glass in a uniform field, the paramagnetic solution is fully stable in a sufficiently large random field
