Error response

This approach can be quite damaging. Each implementor provides identified defensive checks in the code, but none of the interfaces documents what is guaranteed to be checked and by whom or what outcome is guaranteed in the event of those errors. Responsibilities become blurred, and the code becomes littered with disorganized, redundant, and inadequate checking and handling of exception cases.

Managerial control is estabhshed and documented through a series of SOPs. These SOPs are system design, use, and control pohcy statements. They summarize procedures of system security, disaster recovery, normal use, data archive and backup, error response, documentation, testing, and other important aspects of control. 

The Laasonen method, because of the forward difference in T, has errors of 0(6T, H2), and the first-order behaviour with respect to ST limits its accuracy to about the same as the explicit method described in Chap. 5. However, it has a smooth error response to disturbances such as an initial transient (Cottrell), and is stable for any value of 6T/H2, where // is either the same as all intervals if equal intervals are used in X, or is the smallest (usually the first) intervai if unequal intervals are used. This makes the method interesting, and it will be seen below that it can be improved. For simplicity, the symbol A will be used below, and denotes the largest value of that parameter, that is, the value from the smallest interval in space in a given system. 

As with BDF, the simpler second-order scheme appears about optimal. This method also shows the same smooth and damped error response of Laa-sonen, with the accuracy of CN. The drawback is that for every step, several calculations must be performed in the case of second-order extrapolation, three in all (see Sect. 4.9). This also implies an extra concentration array, for the final application of the formula, for example the vector equivalent of (4.31), requiring the result of the first, whole step, and then the result of the two half-steps. Discretisation for extrapolation is the same as for Laa-sonen (coefficients as in (8.12)), but using two different values of 6T. There are example programs using extrapolation (COTT EXTRAP and C0TT EXTRAP4) referred to in Appendix C. 

If a given her is of higher than first order, nonlinear terms arise in the dynamic equation(s). With terms, for example, in squared concentrations (see below), there is the danger, due to computational errors, that a concentration becomes negative, after which it can never be corrected. The technique CN is especially prone to this, because of the oscillations it engenders as a response to sharp transients such as a potential jump. This is one reason some workers prefer the Laasonen method or its improved offshoots, which have a smooth error response without any oscillations. With a Pearson start, however, CN can be used safely, without the appearance of negative concentrations. 

The error-response relationship is usually expressed as a product of two terms, as shown in the following equation ... 

The linear characteristics can be noticed on the left side of the equation however in gy the inherent nonlinearities of the estimation error dynamics are enclosed. This means that, by suitable choices of the gains, the left side is stable, but gy is a potentially destabilizing factor of the dynamics. Except for gy, Eq. (8) establishes a clear relationship between the choice of the tuning parameters and the sampling-delay time value in front of the desired kind of estimation error response. 

Cross correlation analysis is proposed for assessing the dynamic significance of measured disturbances and set-point changes with respect to closed-loop error response, and testing the existence of plant-model mismatch for models used in controller design [281]. 

One of the most important physicochemical applications of gas chromatography (GC) is for the measurement of diffusion coefficients of gases into gases, hquids, and on solids. The gas chromatographic subtechniques used for the measurement of diffusivities are briefly reviewed, focusing on their accuracy and precision, as well as on the corresponding sources of errors responsible for the deviation of the experimental diffusion coefficients measured by GC from those determined by other techniques or calculated from known empirical equations. 

Other factors besides C/D ratio affect response time and errors. Response times increase when an operator must move his hand a large distance to reach a control. In part the response times are a function of the muscle groups needed to reach a control. For movements less than 3 in., vertical movement of the hand is fastest. For larger movements, horizontal movements are faster than vertical.

One method apparently still in some favour, is hopscotch, already mentioned in Chap. 9, extended to two-dimensional problems by Gourlay [215], as did Evans [101] in the same year. Despite the indication by Feldberg [109] and Carnahan et al. [108] that hopscotch suffers from propagational inadequacy (Feldberg s term), it has continued to be used by electrochemists [105-107, 148, 216-222]. Danaee and Evans [223] described a composite method using points and blocks, that may have fixed the propagation problem but this has not been tried in electrochemical work. Hopscotch is in some ways similar to Crank-Nicolson and like that method, has an oscillatory error response, as is seen in [223] and [218], among others. It has been described in Chap. 9.
