The Hilbert Transform and Empirical Mode Decomposition As Tools for Data Analysis The Hilbert Transform and Empirical Mode Decomposition as Tools for Data Analysis Susan Tolwinski First-Year RTG Project University of Arizona Program in Applied Mathematics Advisor: Professor Flaschka Spring 2007 Abstract In this paper, I introduce the Hilbert transform, and explain its usefulness in the context of signal processing. I also outline a recent development in signal processing methods called Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) which makes use of the Hilbert transform. Finally, I illustrate EMD by using the method to analyze temperature data from western Massachusetts. 1 Real Signals and the Hilbert Transform 1.1 Definition of the Hilbert Transform from Contour Integration The Hilbert Transform and its inverse relate the real and imaginary parts of a complex function defined on the real line. The relationship given by this operation is easily derived by the application of Cauchy’s Integral Theorem to a function f(z) which is analytic in the upper half-plane, and which decays to zero at infinity. For a point z∗ inside the contour depicted in Fig. (1), Cauchy’s theorem tells us that Z ∗ 1 f(z) f(z ) = ∗ dz (1) 2πi Γ z − z Figure 1: Contour for integral 2. 1 Writing z∗ as the sum of its real and imaginary parts, and the integral as the sum of integrals along the semi-circle of radius R and the real interval [−R, R], Cauchy’s Theorem becomes Z R Z ∗ 1 f(z) 1 f(z) f(z ) = ∗ dx + ∗ dz (2) 2πi −R (x − x ) − iy∗ 2πi CR (x − x ) + i(y − y∗) As R → ∞, the second term drops out (as F vanishes by assumption). Now, if we replace z∗ with its conjugate in Eqn. (2), the integral yields zero since the pole created atz ¯∗ is not contained within the contour. Thus we can add such a term to our integrand with impunity, so that Z ∞ ∗ 1 f(z) f(z) f(z ) = ∗ + ∗ dx (3) 2πi −∞ (x − x ) − iy∗ (x − x ) + iy∗ Finally, we rewrite f(z) as the sum of its real and imaginary components, f(x, y) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y), and take y∗ = 0, since the aim is to relate u(x, y) and v(x, y) on the real line. For u(x, 0), v(x, 0) integrable and differentiable on R, Z ∞ ∗ 1 u(x, y) + iv(x, y) u(x, y) + iv(x, y) f(z ) = ∗ + ∗ dx (4) 2πi −∞ (x − x ) − iy∗ (x − x ) + iy∗ 1 Z ∞ (u(x, y) + iv(x, y))(x − x∗) = ∗ 2 2 dx (5) πi −∞ (x − x ) + y∗ Z ∞ ∗ 1 u(x, 0) + iv(x, 0) ⇒ f(x ) = P.V. ∗ dx (6) πi −∞ (x − x ) Z ∞ Z ∞ ∗ ∗ 1 v(x, 0) i u(x, 0) u(x , 0) + iv(x , 0) = P.V. ∗ dx − P.V. ∗ dx (7) π −∞ x − x π −∞ x − x Identifying real and imaginary parts, this gives Z ∞ ∗ 1 v(x, 0) ⇒ u(x , 0) = P.V. ∗ dx (8) π −∞ x − x Z ∞ ∗ 1 u(x, 0) v(x , 0) = − P.V. ∗ dx (9) π −∞ x − x This last result shows that on the real line, one need only specify the real component of an analytic function to uniquely determine its imaginary part, and vice versa. Note that because of the singularity at x∗, the integral is defined in the sense of principal values. Hence the identity is well-defined for functions which are integrable and differentiable. We take a small leap of abstraction, and in the spirit of the preceeding derivation, define the Hilbert transform of a real function of a real variable, φ(x): Definition Let φ(x) be integrable and differentiable on R. Then the Hilbert transform of φ(x), denoted H{φ(x)}, is given by 1 Z ∞ φ(ξ) H{φ(x)} = P.V. dξ (10) π −∞ ξ − x Comparing this definition to eqn.(8), we see that if φ is the imaginary part of some analytic function on the real line, then H{φ(x)} gives the real component of the same function on the real line. It seems natural to suspect a form like eqn.(9) will give the inverse Hilbert transform; we will see later on that this is indeed the case. 2 1.2 Properties of the Hilbert Transform and Inverse The form of definition (10) suggests an alternate view of the Hilbert transform of φ(x): as a convolution of 1 φ(x) with − πx . Using the convolution theorem on this definition provides some intuition as to the action of the Hilbert transform on a function in the frequency domain. Recall that Fourier transforms are useful for computing convolutions, since the transform of the convolution is equal to the product of the transforms. Let F {·} denote the Fourier Transform operation. In this paper, we adopt the convention of engineers and define Z ∞ F {f(t)} = fˆ(ω) = f(t)e−iωtdt (11) −∞ 1 Z ∞ F −1{fˆ(ω)} = fˆ(ω)eiωtdω (12) 2π −∞ Then 1 Z ∞ φ(ξ) F {H{φ(t)}} = F dξ (13) π −∞ ξ − t 1 = F φ(t) ∗ − (14) πt −1 = φˆ(ω)F (15) πt −1 −1 But what is the Fourier transform of πt ? It is worth memorizing that F { πt } = isgn(ω). To see this, consider the inverse transform of sgn(ω). This function can be written as 2H(ω) − 1, with H the Heaviside distribution. Then we can approximate the inverse transform by the sequence of distributional actions Z ∞ Z ∞ −1 2 −ω iωt 1 iωt F {2H(ω) − 1} = e e dω − e dω (16) 2π 0 2π −∞ iω(t+i) ∞ 1 e = − δ(t) (17) π −i(t + i) 0 i 1 = − δ(t) (18) π t + i Now, taking the limit of this expression as → 0, we should obtain the expression whose Fourier transform is the signum function. The first term gives i 1 i 1 i 1 lim = ≡ − iπδ(t) (19) →0 π t + i π t + i0 π t so that i 1 i 1 F −1{2H(ω) − 1} = ≡ − iπδ(t) − δ(t) (20) π x + i0 π t i = (21) πt This confirms that taking the Hilbert transform of a function in t is equivalent to multiplying the function’s transform by i times its sign at every point in the frequency domain. In other words, the Hilbert transform π rotates the transform of a signal by 2 in frequency space either clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the sign of ω. 3 A related fact: like the Fourier transform, the Hilbert transform preserves the ”energy” of a function. Define a function’s energy by Z ∞ 2 Ef = |f(t)| dt (22) −∞ Since the Hilbert transform just multiplies the Fourier transform by −isgn(ω), it clearly leaves the energy of the transform unchanged. By Parseval’s theorem, we know that Efˆ = Ef , and so EH{f} = Ef . Some other useful properties of the Hilbert transform are easily verified: • The Hilbert transform and its inverse are linear operations. • An extension of the property described above is that F {Hnf(t)} = (isgn(ω))n fˆ(ω) • Taking multiple Hilbert transformations of a function reveals the following identities: H2 = −I ⇒ H4 = I ⇒ H2 = H−1 From this last property, the definition of the inverse Hilbert transform is apparent: Definition The inverse Hilbert transform of ψ(x), denoted H−1{ψ(x)}, is given by 1 Z ∞ ψ(ξ) H−1{ψ(x)} = − P.V. dξ (23) π −∞ ξ − x As suggested by the result in eqn.(9), we now see that the inverse transform of ψ(x) indeed gives the imaginary part on R of an analytic function with real part ψ(x) on R. 1.3 Real and Analytic Signals It is necessary to introduce some terminology from signal processing: • A signal is any time-varying quantity carrying information we would like to analyze. • To engineers, an analytic signal is one with only positive frequency components. For such signals, it is possible (we shall soon see) to give a representation of the complex form Φ(t) = A(t)eiθ(t) (24) where the original signal is the projection of the complex signal onto the real axis. The engineering notion analyticity is closely related to the mathematician’s notion of what it means for a function to be analytic. For a function with a strictly positive frequency spectrum, 1 Z ∞ f(t) = fˆ(ω)eitωdw (25) 2π 0 If we wish to extend this function on R to the entire complex plane, extend t → z = (t + is) ∈ C. Then the function on the complex plane may be expressed Z ∞ f(z) = fˆ(ω)ei(t+is)ωdω (26) 0 Z ∞ = fˆ(ω)e−sωeitωdω (27) 0 Thus, it is plausible that the integral will return an analytic function so long as s > 0. In other words, a function with a positive frequency spectrum will have an analytic extension in the upper half-plane. So an engineer’s analytic function corresponds to an extended function which is analytic to the mathematician for Im(z) > 0 . 4 • Once we have such an analytic representation of the form A(t)eiθ(t), we can talk about the instantaneous phase θ(t) of the signal, and its time-varying amplitude A(t). • The instantaneous frequency is the rate of change of the phase, θ0(t). We can compute the expected value of the frequency in the time domain by Z ∞ < ω > = ω(t)|Φ(t)|2dt (28) −∞ Z ∞ = ω(t)A2(t)dt (29) −∞ On the other hand, we may also calculate it in frequency space: Z ∞ < ω > = ω|Φ(ˆ ω)|2dω (30) −∞ Z ∞ = ωΦ(ˆ ω)Φˆ ∗(ω)dω (31) −∞ Z ∞ = F −1ωΦ(ˆ ω) Φ∗(t)dt (by Parseval’s Theorem) (32) −∞ Z ∞ = −i Φ∗(t)Φ0(t)dt (33) ∞ Z ∞ A0(t) = θ0(t) − i |A(t)|2dt (34) −∞ A(t) Now, since A(t) is real and L2(R), the second integrand forms a perfect derivative which vanishes when integrated over the whole real line.

One problem with the quadrature down-converter is it requires two low pass filters; one for the real branch and one for the imaginary branch. A more efficient way is to transform the real signal to a complex signal and then complex heterodyne the resultant signal to baseband. The transformation of a real signal to a complex signal can be done using a Hilbert transform. Building a Hilbert transform directly from its sampled data sequence produces suboptimal results due to time series truncation; another method is building a Hilbert transformer by synthesizing the filter coefficients from half Figure 1: A quadrature down-converter band filter coefficients.

Abstract We propose Hilbert transform and analytic signal construction for signals over graphs. This is motivated by the popularity of Hilbert transform, analytic signal, and mod- ulation analysis in conventional signal processing, and the observation that comple- mentary insight is often obtained by viewing conventional signals in the graph setting. Our definitions of Hilbert transform and analytic signal use a conjugate-symmetry-like property exhibited by the graph Fourier transform (GFT), resulting in a ’one-sided’ spectrum for the graph analytic signal. The resulting graph Hilbert transform is shown to possess many interesting mathematical properties and also exhibit the ability to high- light anomalies/discontinuities in the graph signal and the nodes across which signal discontinuities occur. Using the graph analytic signal, we further define amplitude, phase, and frequency modulations for a graph signal. We illustrate the proposed con- cepts by showing applications to synthesized and real-world signals. For example, we show that the graph Hilbert transform can indicate presence of anomalies and that arXiv:1611.05269v3 [cs.IT] 29 Jan 2018 graph analytic signal, and associated amplitude and frequency modulations reveal com- plementary information in speech signals.

The Hilbert transform on the spaces S0∗(Rd) of tempered ultradistributions is defined, uniquely in the sense of hyperfunctions, as the composition of the classical Hilbert transform with the operators of multiplying and dividing a function by a certain elliptic ultra- polynomial. We show that the Hilbert transform of tempered ultradistributions defined in this way preserves important properties of the classical Hilbert transform. We also give definitions and prove properties of singular integral operators with odd and even kernels on the spaces S0∗(Rd), whose special cases are the Hilbert transform and Riesz operators. 1. Introduction. The Hilbert transform on distribution and ultradistribution spaces has been studied by many mathematicians, see e.g. Tillmann [17], Beltrami and Wohlers [1], Vladimirov [18], Singh and Pandey [15], Ishikawa [2], Ziemian [20] and Pilipovi´c[11]. In all these papers the Hilbert transform is defined by one of the two methods: by the method of adjoints or by considering a generalized function on the kernel which belongs to the corresponding test function space.

  • The Hilbert Transform
    The Hilbert transform 1 Definition and properties 1 Recall the distribution pv( x ), defined by Z '(x) pv(1=x)(') := lim dx: !0 jx|≥ x The Hilbert transform is defined via the convolution with pv(1=x), namely 1 Z f(x − t) (Hf)(x) := lim dt: π !0 jt|≥ t The main theorem we are going to prove in this note is the following. Theorem 1.1. For any p 2 (1; +1), there exists a constant Cp such that kHfkp < Cpkfkp (1.1) for all f 2 S(R). Thus, H extends to a bounded linear operator on all of Lp(R). The first remark we make is that the above theorem is false when p = 1. To see this, note that for smooth f with compact support, when x is very large, the main contribution to the integral Z f(x − t) dt t comes from the values t which are not far away from x. This in general gives the decay 1 rate of order jxj , unless there is a magical cancellation due to the sign changes of f, in which case one can hope for a faster decay. Indeed, it is not hard to show that if f is continuous and has compact support with R f(t)dt = a, then a (Hf)(x) = + O(1=x2) πx 1 R for all large x. As a consequence, Hf 2 L (R) if and only if f = 0. The statement of 1 the above theorem is also not true for p = +1. The reason is that x is not integrable at infinity, so one can not bound on kHfk1 merely by using the maximum of f without any other information (e.g., the size of the support).

The Hilbert transform is applied to casual continuous signals. The majority of the practical signals are discrete signals and they are limited in time. It appeared therefore the need to create numeric algorithms for the Hilbert transform. Such an algorithm is a numeric operator, named the Discrete Hilbert Transform.

  • Spectral Decompositions in Banach Spaces and the Hilbert Transform
    LINEAR OPERATORS BANACH CENTER PUBLICATIONS, VOLUME 38 INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WARSZAWA 1997 SPECTRAL DECOMPOSITIONS IN BANACH SPACES AND THE HILBERT TRANSFORM T. A. GILLESPIE Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Edinburgh, James Clerk Maxwell Building Edinburgh EH9 3JZ, Scotland E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper gives a survey of some recent developments in the spectral theory of linear operators on Banach spaces in which the Hilbert transform and its abstract analogues play a fundamental role. 1. Introduction. Various notions of self-adjointness have been developed for oper- ators acting on Banach spaces, each reflecting some aspect of the Hilbert space theory. One such notion is that of well-boundedness, a concept introduced by Smart [23] and first studied by Smart and Ringrose [21–23]. An operator is (by definition) well-bounded if it has a functional calculus based on the Banach algebra of absolutely continuous func- tions on a compact real interval. This functional calculus gives rise to a form of spectral diagonalization, as will be described in more detail below. Initially, there were relatively few examples of well-bounded operators, other than rather obvious ones, until Dowson and Spain [17] gave an interesting example of a well- bounded operator A acting on Lp(Z) for p in the range 1 <p< ∞. It can be shown that the operator they considered has the property that eiA is the bilateral shift on Lp(Z) (see [18, p. 1044]) and this observation illustrates the more general fact [19] that every translation operator on Lp(G), where G is a locally compact abelian group and 1 <p< ∞, is of the form eiA for some well-bounded operator A.

  • Proved That Every Real Separable Banach Space Contains a Separable Hilbert Space As a Dense Embedding, and This Space Is the Support of a Gaussian Measure
    . SOME BANACH SPACES ARE ALMOST HILBERT TEPPER L. GILL1∗ AND MARZETT GOLDEN1 Abstract. The purpose of this note is to show that, if B is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space B0 has a \ Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes B much closer to a Hilbert space then previously suspected. As an application, we prove that, if B also has a Schauder basis (S- basis), then for each A 2 C[B] (the closed and densely defined linear operators), there exists a closed densely defined linear operator A∗ 2 C[B] that has all the expected properties of an adjoint. Thus for example, the bounded linear operators, L[B], is a ∗algebra. This result allows us to give a natural definition to the Schatten class of operators on a uniformly convex Banach space with a S-basis. In particular, every theorem that is true for the Schatten class on a Hilbert space, is also true on such a space. The main tool we use is a special version of a result due to Kuelbs [K], which shows that every uniformly convex Banach space with a S-basis can be densely and continuously embedded into a Hilbert space which is unique up to a change of basis. 1. Introduction In 1965, Gross [G] proved that every real separable Banach space contains a separable Hilbert space as a dense embedding, and this space is the support of a Gaussian measure. This was a generalization of Wiener's theory, that was based on the use of the (densely embedded Hilbert) Sobolev space H1[0; 1] ⊂ C[0; 1].
