Complementary operators, on the other hand, comprise an efficient boundary procedure that improves the absorption of numerical reflections by using previously developed ABCs [13]. Their competence is based on the implementation of two boundary operators that are complementary in their action. In this manner, new ABCs that produce prespecified reflection coefficients are derived. By solving the problem with each of the two operators and then averaging the two solutions, the technique annihilates the first-order artificial reflections of both obliquely propagating and evanescent waves, irrespective of their wave number. More specifically, absorption of the latter occurs even if the original ABC reflects them totally. The modified higher order development of COM starts from a well-posed and stable ABC that can be expressed by a single differential equation, defined as J-. If nonstandard operator [.] is... 

Qualitative measure of segregation. Uncertainties due to each controlling feature differ from boundary to boundary, operator to operator, machine to machine, and affect material-to-material comparisons. 

An important property of this boundary operator is that when applied twice it gets reduced to the trivial map. 

Just as in previous cases, one can define the boundary operator, which this time is an abelian group homomorphism... 

The complete algebraic apparatus described in Subsection 3.2.3 can be set up with an arbitrary commutative ring 7 . with unit taking the role played by Z. In this scenario, G (Z TV) are free 7 -modules generated by the simplices of A. The boundary operator is still defined by (3.4) and (3.5) and then extended by TZ-linearity. The 7 -modules Zn A TZ) and Bn A-,TV) are also defined in the same way, for all n > 0. 

Instead of the boundary operator decreasing the dimension, we have the cohoundary operator C A Z) —> Z), which increases it. The... 

Similar to what we have done before, we can define the singular boundary operator Sing (X 7 .) —> Sing i(A .) only this time the boundary is taken on the standard simplex first, before mapping it to A ... 

To verify the second property note that the composition of / with continuous maps corresponding to singular simplices yields group homomorphisms / Cj [X TZ) —> Ci Y TZ), for alH > 0. It is easy to see that these homomorphisms commute with the boundary operators, and therefore induce the 7 .-module homomorphisms mentioned above. 

The alert reader will notice that we have not proved that the algebraic structure in (3.20) is in fact a chain complex. For that, one would need to verify that the cellular boundary operator satisfies the equation o = 0 for all n. To do so directly from definition (3.19) would require a fairly technical analysis of the incidence numbers. 

Note that the boundary operator is well-defined on the quotient because of... 

By the above discussion, this map is well-defined, and is in fact a homomorphism of 7f-modules. We also note that since our map is derived from the boundary operator in a very direct way, we find it convenient simply to use the same notation. 

We also see that, both in the case of A fln) and in that of A nn)/Sn, the boundary operator is obtained by deleting entire levels from trees and reconnecting vertices transitively through the deleted level.

Two different control loop classes exist (i) Safety-critical and (ii) operation-critical. Safety-critical control loops are found between each RTU and its sensors or actuators. Immediate reaction in milisecond ranges is required here to keep the surveilled Cl processes stable. On the other hand, operation-critical control loop>s exist between all SCADA nodes and also across autonomous SCADA system boundaries. Operation-critical control loops have weaker timeliness requirements than safety-critical control loops. 

Scope and boundary For defining the scope and boundaries of FMEA/FMECA the major questions are Is it for conceptual, design, process, or software and services Also the purpose of the study shall be questioned. The scope of analysis shall take into account the physical boundaries, operating phases (operational or startup/shutdown phase, etc.), and any other assumptions considered in the referendum. In brief the following points shall constitute the scope and boundary of analysis. It is worth noting that all interface points should be included in the scope even if these are beyond the physical boundaries defined.
