Scientific paper

The evolution through case A mass transfer is computed for close binary systems with masses 3 and 5 solar masses and periods in the range 0.7-1.6 days. It is found that, due to mass accretion, the companion star evolves faster, and reversed mass transfer occurs. If such a reversed phase starts after core hydrogen exhaustion of the gainer (A1B2), it is driven by the rapid expansion of the latter component during hydrogen shell burning.
