Abstract

In this paper we deal with a special type of quaternionic Beltrami equation and discuss the existence of local and global homeomorphic solutions based on a necessary and sufficient condition, which relates the Jacobian determinant of a mapping from ℝ4 to ℝ4 with the hypercomplex derivative of a monogenic function.
