My papers

The following is a list of my research publications. From roughly 1998 onwards, they are downloadable as electronic preprints, with a few earlier ones also available. Most are in pdf (Adobe Acrobat) format, but a few are as ps (Postscript) files or as doc (MS-Word) files. Generally the copyright is owned by the publisher indicated.
