Analytic signal in many dimensions

Submitted to Applied and Computational Harmonic AnalysisIn this paper we extend analytic signal to the multidimensional case. First it is shown how to obtain separate phase-shifted components and how to combine them into instantaneous amplitude and phase. Secondly we define the proper hypercomplex analytic signal as a holo-morphic hypercomplex function on the boundary of polydisk in the hypercomplex space. Next it is shown that the correct phase-shifted components can be obtained by positive frequency restriction of the Scheffers-Fourier transform based on the commutative and associative algebra generated by the set of elliptic hypercomplex numbers. Moreover we demonstrate that for d > 2 there is no corresponding Clifford-Fourier transform that allows to recover phase-shifted components correctly. Finally the euclidean-domain construction of instantaneous amplitude is extended to manifold and manifold-like graphs and point clouds
