59. In the literature, both the definition of the Hilbert and the Riesz transforms and the computation of their Fourier transforms (or multipliers) create an awkward situation, caused by the selection of the sign of convolution kernel in Eq. (2) and the definition of the direct Fourier transform. This is not a trivial issue because it has consequences for the computation of the true phase of odd symmetries. As the four possibilities exist in the literature, the definition of the j Riesz transform as convolution with the kernel K j(x) =-cnxj|x|-n-1, j=1, ⋯,n, adopted in Eqs. (8) and (9) is consistent with the definition of the Hilbert transform in [38,39] and accords with the definition adopted by some authors in harmonic analysis [45], Eq. (4.1), and image processing [42,49,50,57] but differs by a minus sign from those used in harmonic analysis [46,47], signal theory [40], and image processing [51,52,58]. This decision also affects the definitions of analytic signal and monogenic signal. If the definition of the direct Fourier transform contains a minus sign in the argument of the complex exponential [i.e., Eq. (5)], then the FT of the Riesz kernel j is K̂j(ξ)=iξj/|ξ|, j =1, ⋯,n, and it follows from this that K̂1(u)=iu/(u) and K̂2(u)= iv/(u) for a two-dimensional signal.
