Scientific paper

The structure equations of contact binaries are discussed. An equation for the transfer of mass between the components is derived. Serious uncertainties concern only the transfer of energy. They are expressed as unknown functions. An evolution code for contact binaries is presented. The restrictions imposed by a spherically averaged treatment of the components are discussed. Apart from these restrictions the code can be adapted to any choice of the functions describing the energy transfer. A simple tentative choice for these functions is proposed.
