HijackThis HijackThis, sometimes abbreviated HJT, is freeware spyware-removal tool for Microsoft Windows created by Merijn Bellekom. The program is notable for taking a heuristic approach on detecting malware - rather than relying on a database of known spyware it quickly scans a users' computer, creates a list of differences from a known spyware-free environment and allows the user to decide what from the list needs to be removed.

Hilbert space In mathematics, a Hilbert space is a real or complex vector space with a positive-definite Hermitian form, that is complete under its norm. Thus it is an inner product space, which means that it has notions of distance and of angle (especially the notion of orthogonality or perpendicularity).

Hilbert's third problem The third on Hilbert's list of mathematical problems, presented in 1900, is the easiest one.

Hilbert's twenty-second problem Hilbert's twenty-second problem is the penultimate entry in the celebrated list of 23 Hilbert problems compiled in 1900 by David Hilbert. It entails the uniformization of analytic relations by means of automorphic functions.
Hilbert-Hermitian wavelet The Hilbert-Hermitian wavelet was designed by Jon Harrop in 2004 [the wavelets are a special case of the Morse wavelets, introduced by Daubechies and Paul (1988, Inverse Problems, vol 4, p 661-80)] for the reliable time-frequency analysis of signals that contain rapidly amplitude- or frequency-modulated components. This wavelet is formulated in Fourier space as the Hilbert analytic function of the Hermitian wavelet:

Restricting to G which are locally compact and have a continuous, faithful group action on M, it states that G must be a Lie group.
