Introduction: AFD is a new decomposition model that decomposes a given signal/function into a sum of mono-components (signals of non-negative analytic phase derivative) with fast convergence in energy. Iteration based on AFD gives rise to a conditional solution of the n-best rational approximation: a long standing open algorithm problem.
