We investigate the cnditions for disk instability in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with X-ray irradiation of the disk included. Considering non-conservative mass transfer and adopting the Eddington limited accretion hypothesis, we have calculated the evolution of NLMXBs driven by nuclear expansion of the secondary, and obtained a modified boundary between persistent and transient behavior in NLMXBs. We briefly discuss the applications to low-mass binary radio pulsars (LMBPs).
