Section 4.1.6 says:

immediate_olist(*,G) =
       joins(*,G) (+) pim_include(*,G) (-) lost_assert(*,G)

It should say:

immediate_olist(*,G) =
       ( joins(*,G) (+) pim_include(*,G) ) (-) lost_assert(*,G)

-or-

immediate_olist(*,G) =
       joins(*,G) (+) ( pim_include(*,G) (-) lost_assert(*,G) )

Notes:

Left or right associativity is not established at the beginning of this document, so it is necessary to clarify which operation happens first: (+) or (-).
