contents We construct a one-parameter family of generalized Mathieu functions, which are reduced quaternion-valued functions of a pair of real variables lying in an ellipse, and which we call $λ$-reduced quaternionic Mathieu functions. We prove that the $λ$-RQM functions, which are in the kernel of the Moisil-Teodorescu operator $D+λ$ ($D$ is the Dirac operator and $λ\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$), form a complete orthogonal system in the Hilbert space of square-integrable $λ$-metamonogenic functions with respect to the $L^2$-norm over confocal ellipses. Further, we introduce the zero-boundary $λ$-RQM-functions, which are $λ$-RQM functions whose scalar part vanishes on the boundary of the ellipse. The limiting values of the $λ$-RQM functions as the eccentricity of the ellipse tends to zero are expressed in terms of Bessel functions of the first kind and form a complete orthogonal system for $λ$-metamonogenic functions with respect to the $L^2$-norm on the unit disk. A connection between the $λ$-RQM functions and the time-dependent solutions of the imaginary-time wave equation in the elliptical coordinate system is shown.
