The Fourier and Hilbert transform techniques have played extremely important roles in geophysical data processing. We were naturally very interested to find the paper by Mohan et al. which described a possible application of the Hilbert transform approach in magnetic interpretation. However, we found some very serious problems in the paper.

The paper extends to three dimensions (3-D) the two‐dimensional (2-D) Hilbert transform relations between potential field components. For the 3-D case, it is shown that the Hilbert transform is composed of two parts, with one part acting on the X component and one part on the Y component. As for the previously developed 2-D case, it is shown that in 3-D the vertical and horizontal derivatives are the Hilbert transforms of each other. The 2-D Cauchy‐Riemann relations between a potential function and its Hilbert transform are generalized for the 3-D case. Finally, the previously developed concept of analytic signal in 2-D can be extended to 3-D as a first step toward the development of an automatic interpretation technique for potential field data.

Two specific generalizations of the multidimensional Hilbert transform in Clifford analysis are constructed. It is shown that though in each of these generalizations some traditional properties of the Hilbert transform are inevitably lost, new bounded singular operators emerge on Hilbert or Sobolev spaces ofL2-functions.

The Hilbert transform, Hf, of a function f is defined by Hf = g, whereP denoting the Cauchy principal value and the integral being assumed to exist in some sense. When f is suitably restricted, Hf exists andIn the first part of Theorem 1 sufficient conditions are given for the validity of (1·2) rather more general than those of Wood ((6), p. 31). The present proof is based on the well-known condition of Riesz for the validity of (1·2), namely, that f is Lp(−∞, ∞) for some p > 1, and on the ‘Parseval’ relation (Lemma 3, (b)), which was used in a similar way by Hardy ((3), p. 110).

While going through some of the publications (Mohan and Babu, 1995), I became interested in the work of Mohan et al. (1982) which proposed a technique for interpretation of magnetic field anomalies over different geometrical sources using the Hilbert transform (HT). Before I put forward my observations, it would be appropriate to look into some important properties of HT (Whalen, 1971, pages 63 and 69.)

The concept of phase permeates seismic data processing and signal processing in general, but it can be awkward to understand, and manipulating it directly can lead to surprising results. It doesn't help that the word phase is used to mean a variety of things, depending on whether we refer to the propagating wavelet, the observed wavelet, poststack seismic attributes, or an entire seismic data set. Several publications have discussed the concepts and ambiguities (e.g., Roden and Sepúlveda, 1999 ; Liner, 2002 ; Simm and White, 2002 ).

Abstract Let $X$ be a given Banach space, and let $M$ and $N$ be two orthogonal $X$-valued local martingales such that $N$ is weakly differentially subordinate to $M$. The paper contains the proof of the estimate $\mathbb E \Psi (N_t) \leq C_{\Phi ,\Psi ,X} \mathbb E \Phi (M_t)$, $t\geq 0$, where $\Phi , \Psi :X \to \mathbb R_+$ are convex continuous functions and the least admissible constant $C_{\Phi ,\Psi ,X}$ coincides with the $\Phi ,\Psi $-norm of the periodic Hilbert transform. As a corollary, it is shown that the $\Phi ,\Psi $-norms of the periodic Hilbert transform, the Hilbert transform on the real line, and the discrete Hilbert transform are the same if $\Phi $ is symmetric. We also prove that under certain natural assumptions on $\Phi $ and $\Psi $, the condition $C_{\Phi ,\Psi ,X}<\infty $ yields the UMD property of the space $X$. As an application, we provide comparison of $L^p$-norms of the periodic Hilbert transform to Wiener and Paley–Walsh decoupling constants. We also study the norms of the periodic, nonperiodic, and discrete Hilbert transforms and present the corresponding estimates in the context of differentially subordinate harmonic functions and more general singular integral operators.

Abstract. Laminated sediments, like evaporites and biogenic lake sediments, provide high-resolution paleo-climate records. Yet detection and counting of laminae causes still problems because sedimentary structures are often disturbed. In the past laminated rocks often were analysed manually - a tedious and subjective work. The present study describes four automated approaches for lamina detection based on 1d grey-scale vectors. Best results are obtained with a newly developed algorithm, called Adaptive Template Method (ATM) in combination with the Hilbert transform. ATM improves the signal to noise ratio of the grey-value signal. Its basic idea is to extract first a characteristic waveform, the template, which describes the typical grey-value variation transverse to the laminae. This is a kind of "template learning" process, which in practice is done by an appropriate averaging method. This template is in a second step used for processing the whole sample. One calculates the overlap of the template with the actual signal, the grey-value variation along the core, as function of position in core direction. This method generates a new signal with maxima at positions, where the template optimally matches the original signal. The new time-series is called AT-transform. It is smoother than the initial data sequence. High frequency noise and local trend effects are suppressed. Afterwards, the AT-transform can be analysed with the Hilbert transformation for extracting phase information. The data processing methods are tested both on artificial data sequences and on a seasonally laminated sedimentary record of the Oligocene Baruth Maar (Germany). Although ATM is no panacea for highly disturbed signals, our comparison with other approaches shows that it provides the best results. The combination of ATM and the Hilbert transform allows to detect clearly long-term oscillations in the sedimentation patterns and thus cycles in climatic variations.
