In 1999, I published a review article on this subject,
in which I attempted to cover the literature up
to that date as completely as possible. For this reason, in this chapter, I will emphasize results that
have appeared more recently, referring the reader to the earlier review for a more complete
coverage of the subject. Thiemens has also recently published review articles.
