Consider the initial value problem 0.1 $$\begin{aligned} \partial _{t}u= & {} {\mathcal L}(t,x,u,\partial _{x_{i}}u),\nonumber \\ u(0,x)= & {} \varphi (x), \end{aligned}$$ where t is the time, $${\mathcal L}$$ is a linear first-order differential operator and $$\varphi $$ is a generalized q-metamonogenic function. This problem can be solved by applying the method of associated spaces which is constructed by Tutschke (see Solution of initial value problems in classes of generalized analytic functions, Teubner Leipzig and Springer, New York, 1989). In this work, we formulate sufficient conditions on the coefficients of the operator $${\mathcal L}$$ under which this operator is associated to the space of generalized q-metamonogenic functions satisfying a differential equation with anti-q-metamonogenic right-hand side, when q and $$\lambda $$ are constant Clifford vectors. We also build a computational algorithm to check the computations in the cases $${\mathcal A}^{*}_{2,2}$$ and $${\mathcal A}^{*}_{3,2}$$ . In conical domains, the initial value problem (0.1) is uniquely solvable for an operator $${\mathcal L}$$ and for any generalized q-metamonogenic initial function $$\varphi $$ , provided an interior estimate holds for generalized q-metamonogenic functions satisfying a differential equation with anti-q-metamonogenic right-hand side. The solution is also a generalized q-metamonogenic function for each fixed t. This work generalizes the results given in Di Teodoro and Sapian (Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebras, 25:283–301, 2015) and Van (Differential operator in a Clifford analysis associated to differential equations with anti-monogenic right hand side, IC/2006/134, 2016).
