This dimension formula can be considered as a higher dimensional analogue of a beautiful theorem on ordinary differential equations due to Kashiwara (Master’s Thesis, University of Tokyo, 1970) and Komatsu (J. Fac. Sci. Univ. Tokyo Math. Sect. IA 18 (1971) 379). In the course of the proof, we will make use of a recent innovation of Schmid–Vilonen (Invent.

Introduction The aim of this paper is to prove a useful formula to compute the exact dimensions of the solutions to holonomic D-modules. The study of the dimension formula for the generalized function solutions to ordinary differential equations started only recently. In the 1970s, a beautiful theorem was obtained by Kashiwara [7] and Komatsu [12] using the hyperfunction theory.

  • Design and Application of a Hilbert Transformer in a Digital Receiver

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. Designing the Hilbert transform filter using a half band filter allows for a much more Another way of viewing the problem is that the structured design process as well as greatly improved quadrature down-converter not only extracts the desired results. segment of the spectrum it rejects the undesired spectral image, the spectral replica present in the Hermetian 1.

These operators appear in the context of scattering theory, but are independent of any perturbation theory. The Hilbert transform, the Hankel transform, and the finite interval Hilbert transform are among the operators considered. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47G10 Keywords: integral operators, Hilbert transform, Hankel transform, dilation operator, scattering theory 1 Introduction Investigations on the wave operators in the context of scattering theory have a long history, and several powerful technics have been developed for the proof of their existence and of their completeness. More recently, properties of these operators in various spaces have been studied, and the importance of these operators for non-linear problems has also been acknowledged. A quick search on MathSciNet shows that the terms wave operator(s) appear in the title of numerous papers, confirming their importance in various fields of mathematics. For the last decade, the wave operators have also played a key role for the arXiv:1909.01712v1 [math-ph] 4 Sep 2019 search of index theorems in scattering theory, as a tool linking the scattering part of a physical system to its bound states.

    On Hilbert Transform, Analytic Signal, and Modulation Analysis for Signals over Graphs Arun Venkitaraman, Saikat Chatterjee, Peter Handel¨ Department of Information Science and Engineering, School of Electrical Engineering and ACCESS Linnaeus Center KTH Royal Institute of Technology, SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden . 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).

  • An Elementary Theory of Hyperfunctions and Microfunctions
    PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS BANACH CENTER PUBLICATIONS, VOLUME 27 INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WARSZAWA 1992 AN ELEMENTARY THEORY OF HYPERFUNCTIONS AND MICROFUNCTIONS HIKOSABURO KOMATSU Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Tokyo Tokyo, 113 Japan 1. Sato’s definition of hyperfunctions. The hyperfunctions are a class of generalized functions introduced by M. Sato [34], [35], [36] in 1958–60, only ten years later than Schwartz’ distributions [40]. As we will see, hyperfunctions are natural and useful, but unfortunately they are not so commonly used as distributions. One reason seems to be that the mere definition of hyperfunctions needs a lot of preparations. In the one-dimensional case his definition is elementary. Let Ω be an open set in R. Then the space (Ω) of hyperfunctions on Ω is defined to be the quotient space B (1.1) (Ω)= (V Ω)/ (V ) , B O \ O where V is an open set in C containing Ω as a closed set, and (V Ω) (resp. (V )) is the space of all holomorphic functions on V Ω (resp. VO). The\ hyper- functionO f(x) represented by F (z) (V Ω) is written\ ∈ O \ (1.2) f(x)= F (x + i0) F (x i0) − − and has the intuitive meaning of the difference of the “boundary values”of F (z) on Ω from above and below. V Ω Fig. 1 [233] 234 H. KOMATSU The main properties of hyperfunctions are the following: (1) (Ω), Ω R, form a sheaf over R. B ⊂ Ω Namely, for all pairs Ω1 Ω of open sets the restriction mappings ̺Ω1 : (Ω) (Ω ) are defined, and⊂ for any open covering Ω = Ω they satisfy the B →B 1 α following conditions: S (S.1) If f (Ω) satisfies f = 0 for all α, then f = 0; ∈B |Ωα (S.2) If fα (Ωα) satisfy fα Ωα∩Ωβ = fβ Ωα∩Ωβ for all Ωα Ωβ = , then there is∈ Ban f (Ω) such| that f = f| .

Also, they could stating the result of the done work. be helpful for data transmission (e.g. GMSK modulation). In practice, the Gaussian filters could be approximately designed II. GAUSSIAN FILTER AND MEMRISTOR by several methods. One of these methods are to construct Gaussian-like filter with the help of memristors and RLC circuits. A. Gaussian Filter Therefore, the objective of this project is to find and design Gaussian filter is such filter which convolves the input signal appropriate model of Gaussian-like filter, by using mentioned devices. Finally, one possible model of Gaussian-like filter based with the impulse response of Gaussian function. In some on memristor designed and analysed in this paper. sources this process is also known as the Weierstrass transform [2]. The Gaussian function is given as in equation 1, where µ Index Terms—Gaussian filters, analog filter, memristor, func- is the time shift and σ is the scale. For input signal of x(t) tion approximation the output is the convolution of x(t) with Gaussian, as shown in equation 2.
