Abstract
Our earlier studies [l, 2, 31 on the generalised Clifford algebra (G.C.il.) formulated by K. Yamazaki [4] 1 e d us to a surprising connection between the generalised Clifford algebra and the unitary groups which describe the internal symmetry of elementary particles. We shall now show that it is possible to obtain the matrices of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau [5] (D.K.P.) algebra which enter the space-time description of particles having spin zero or one through a wave equation, known in literature as the D.K.P. equation. Such a derivation of D.K.P. algebra from the generalised Clifford algebra leads us automatically to a method of constructing the elements of the algebra of the orthogonal groups also.
