Evolution with orbital period, P_orb, of the mass transfer rate, ﹩\dot{M}﹩, secondary mass, M₂, and secondary radius, R₂, for several illustrative model cataclysmic variable systems. The initial masses for the systems whose evolutions are displayed in the left and right sets of panels are the same as described in Fig. 1.
