Scientific paper

A statistical study is presented on the influence of the formation of close binaries on the initial mass function. Conditions are given in order to have similar slopes for the initial mass functions of single stars and of primaries of close binaries. These conditions appear to be so restrictive that it seems very hard to believe that the complicated physics of star and binary formation will provide them. A simple model of binary formation is then introduced in order to get an idea of the differences between the initial mass function of single stars and primaries of close binaries which may be expected.
