Scientific paper

we summarized and discussed our works on the structure and evolution of low-mass W UMa-type systems. Our works predict that the convection is by no means essential to the energy transfer in common envelope (CE) and the energy transfer probably occurs in the radiative zone of CE, and that W UMa-type systems undergo cyclic evolution and would merge into the fast-rotating single stars owing to Darwin's instability at last, and during their merging process they would lose a large amount of mass and angular momentum.
