Publications
For better understanding, they should be read in the order in which they are listed. Wherever possible, PDF files have been used, since they are generally easier to download. With the exception of a few very old papers, those that have not yet been converted to PDF are in postscript format for the time being. Depending upon your monitor settings, some of the older PDF files may not look very good on-screen, but they should print out fine.
The following papers are the more important ones:
