Problems in the Geometric Algebra

In the geometric algebra1 there are some problems, which not found in the literature, and I would like to share my thoughts about these now. I restrict my examination to those geometric algebras, where the starting point is a finite dimensional Euclidean vector space and the real numbers. In the Euclidean vector space an internal product is defined with an outer product generalized by Grassmann. After that, a so-called geometric product, which will be the basic operation in the geometric algebra, is defined.
