Abstract
In this paper we represent eight-component values “octons,” generating associative noncommutative algebra. It is shown that the electromagnetic field in a vacuum can be described by a generalized octonic equation, which leads both to the wave equations for potentials and fields and to the system of Maxwell’s equations. The octonic algebra allows one to perform compact combined calculations simultaneously with scalars, vectors, pseudoscalars, and pseudovectors. Examples of such calculations are demonstrated by deriving the relations for energy, momentum, and Lorentz invariants of the electromagnetic field.
