Scientific paper

The secular evolution of binary systems in which a compact star accretes from a close companion is reviewed from a theoretical standpoint. Proposed explanations of the maximum and minimum period and period gap of these systems are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on tests of the gap-forming hypothesis involving the relation between various subclasses of compact systems. Accreting binaries with evolved companion stars are discussed.
