Let there be phase

In a recent paper entitled “Hilbert Transform on Graphs: Let There Be Phase” published in IEEE Signal Processing Letters, Michael Chan proposes a new twist to enable the Hilbert transform for graphs. The scheme provides a promising way to analyze signals on domains that can be characterized by directed graphs. The graph analytical signal reveals (…)
