Scientific paper

It has been shown that the pulse period of most X-ray pulsars vary in a composite way and there have been several kinds of models, with which one tries to explain it. In this paper, the classical ones and the progress of them are reviewed. More interest in the spin down mechanism is taken. The authors suggest that the variation of both accretion rate and the magnetic inclination angle may account for the observed changes of P˙/P for some X-ray pulsars.
