We say that N is nilpotent if there is some positive integer R such that Af.
for, using the fact that N and N' commute Af and so when R is sufficiently large every term in this expression for Af will be 0.
Since Af are linearly independent functions and the exponential function has no zeros, these R functions Af, form a basis for the space of solutions.

An analysis of the vector relationships shows that the rake angle **yc and the friction angle **yt determine the vector direction Af of the force resultants R and Af.
It is difficult to measure the direction and magnitude of R directly.
This is not a constant value like Af, but varies with the thickness of the coating and the direction and magnitude of the resultants R and Af of Fig. 6.
If the rake angle **yc of the knife is high enough and the friction angle **yt between the front of the knife and the back of the chip is low enough to give a positive value for Af, the resultant vector R will lie above the plane of the substrate.
A sufficiently good approximation for determining the end reflection losses R can be obtained from the angle independent Fresnel formula: Af.
Moreover, by systematically varying the operating conditions in the first stage and always using the optimal Af-stage policy for the remaining stages, we shall eventually find the optimal policy for all R stages.
If all the operating variables were varied simultaneously, Af operations would be required to do the same job, and as R increases this increases very much more rapidly than the number of operations required by the dynamic program.
But even more important than this is the fact that the direct search by simultaneously varying all operating conditions has produced only one optimal policy, namely, that for the given feed state and R stages.
But Af is vastly larger than R.
Consider the process illustrated in Fig. 2.1, consisting of R distinct stages.
These will be numbered in the direction opposite to the flow of the process stream, so that stage R is the T stage from the end.
Let the state of the stream leaving stage R be denoted by a vector Af and the operating variables of stage R by Af.
