Isolated node

As I pointed out earlier, the model contains two layers of nodes at the middle level. The uppermost of these is necessary to show how the nodes spread activation to each other. Every node at the lower middle level transfers its own activation upward to its counterpart in the next layer and also spreads additional activation to any other nodes to which it is connected. If a student has only isolated nodes that do not connect to each other, the activations associated with the nodes at both layers will be identical. Typically, there are connections among nodes, resulting in higher patterns of activation at the upper layer. 

Why represent isolated nodes In some Formal Graphs, nodes drawn are not linked to others, becanse they represent variables that may play a role when necessary, in particnlar when the pole is connected to other poles. The convention is to show all nodes independent of their effective role. 

Definition (Occurrence of bond multiplicities, hybridization) Consider a labeled multigraph y e 9m,nandanodeiofy.assumingthat it is notan isolated node, i.e. (y)j > 0, or, equivalently, b(y), > 0. We denote the number of nodes connected to i by a jt-fold bond by... 

When a MOSFET is in the off condition, that is, when the MOSFET is in subthreshold, the off current drawn with the drain at supply voltage must not be too large in order to avoid power consumption and discharge of ostensibly isolated nodes (Shoji, 1988). In small devices, however, the source and drain are closely spaced, and so there exists a danger of direct interaction of the drain with the source, rather than an interaction mediated by the gate and channel. In an extreme case, the drain may draw current directly... 

When restricting the graph G to arcs j g J , we obtain a subgraph (say) G° its reduced incidence matrix is of elements C j where n N and j g J . The subgraph is generally not connected it can even contain isolated nodes, not incident with any arc j g J°. Example ... 

Let us arrange the subgraphs G° in the manner that G , , G - K < K) are those subgraphs which are not isolated nodes observe that if G is an isolated node, the corresponding (scalar) equation (node balance) in (3.2.2) becomes automatically one of the node balances of the reduced graph G. Having selected a reference node in each G for k = I, , K , let B be the reduced incidence matrix of G, thus B is of full row rank let further A, be the corresponding... 

The whole vector of unmeasured variables is observable if and only if all the connected components of subgraph G° are trees (or also isolated nodes). 

Going back to the components of G°, let us find spanning trees T. Gi° is trivial (isolated node). In G2°, let us start from e. Again according to Section A.4, from the two arcs j g incident to node e let us select for... 

Recall that a connected component can also consist of one (isolated) node, with empty subset of incident arcs. Having merged the nodes of each N,j in G we have the reduced graph G see Fig. 3-7. The K nodes of G correspond uniquely to the K subsets N, of N. By the graph reduction (merging), we have deleted all the arcs j e J°, and some arcs j g J in addition (subset J c J ). The arc set of G , denoted by J, consists of the remaining (not deleted) arcs j e J. Thus J"" is partitioned... 

This assumed, deleting the isolated nodes we have subgraph G [N, E,( ] of full incidence matrix... 

This means that the linear system (8.2.20) in variables ml< is not generally solvable, unless the condition (8.2.21) is satisfied identically. If so, the condition (8.2.21) is added to the equations (8.2.2a). The case is conceivable but again, one feels that thCTe is something wrong in the model. We then cannot have G i as an isolated node in G [N, ] because... 

It can, however, happen that some of the G t is an isolated node. Then =0 and... 

Any two adjacent nodes d e and d e are merged. Possible isolated nodes are then deleted [again merely formal convention]. 

The condition of observability, thus rankB = J = J° requires that all the connected components G° of subgraph G [N, J ] are trees (possibly isolated nodes), as shown in Section 3.3. Under these two conditions, the covariance matrix is positive definite. 

Consider for example Fig.3.6 in Section 3.2. The subgraph G consists of isolated nodes and two (nontrivial) trees hence y is observable. We have AT = 5 for the number of connected components G , thus K- =A scalar equations (3.2.3) for reconciliation, and by the adjusted measured mass flowrates, the 4 unmeasured flowrates are uniquely determined the covariance matrix can also be computed. But the subgraph G has two connected components (one of them containing stream 72 only), hence is not connected, hence F is not positive definite. 

Let us thus consider an oriented graph G that is not a set of isolated nodes only. If the elements of the sets N (nodes) and J (arcs) are, respectively, written in an arbitrary given order, the oriented incidence relation takes the form of a matrix, say A. From the possible two conventions let us adopt that one where the rows are n e N and the columns y J the element (n,j) takes one of the values -1, +1, or 0. For example with Fig. A-2 we obtain... 

Conversely any matrix having the property (i ) can be completed to the incidence matrix of a graph as shown. The additional node is incident with the arcs-columns having only one nonnull element in it can also happen that it is an isolated node. Reduced incidence matrices occur in balance calculations (see Chapter 3). To avoid misinterpretation, we sometimes call the matrix A above the full incidence matrix of graph G. 

If in particular N = 1 (isolated node) we have J = 0 and the equality (A.3) holds true. Recall that we have, by convention, included isolated nodes in the class of connected graphs. By the same convention (definition), any isolated node is a tree. Let us call nontrivial the trees that are not isolated nodes. 

We have introduced the incidence matrix A only for graphs that are not reduced to isolated nodes in the latter case the arc set is empty, and so is also the set of columns. According to Fig. A-3, the matrix can be decomposed into blocks that correspond each to one connected component G [N,(, J, ] where It 0 the void fields are of no interest. In what follows, let us thus assume that... 

If the threshold is raised, to say S, > 0.90, the subset of compounds remains linked, but the subgraph induced by tlie higher threshold no longer forms a clique and c Cpd-5, of course, remains an isolated node. In this case, the adjacency matrix simplifies to... 

Suppose we want to compute the expected number of isolated nodes. Let X G) be the number of isolated nodes in the graph G with n nodes and possible edges as shown in Figure 6.54 (with additional edges added to pins so that d(y) = 6 for each nanoparticle, but not necessarily for each pin) each with probability p. Then...
