The main geometric tool is a high-dimensional version of the Refined Marcinkiewicz Exponent, which constitutes a local refinement of the Absolute Marcinkiewicz Exponent, a metric characteristic of fractal boundaries. A solvability condition is obtained, based on some properties of a suitable inframonogenic Teodorescu-type transform in Clifford analysis. It has been proven that utilizing this metric characteristic yields better results for studying these boundary value problems than using the Minkowski dimension or the Absolute Marcinkiewicz Exponent. An example is presented where the use of this new condition is the only viable solution to the problem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44371,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Operator Theory","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148782990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
