Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to deduce some further properties of the fundamental quantities inherent in the frequency-domain approach-such as the fractional loss of light α 0 l and momentsA 2m of the light curves of eclipsing variables; and also to develop an iterative method for the solution of two key eclipse parametersa andc 0 in terms of the observed quantities. This should facilitate practical applications of the methods developed in the preceding papers of this series for the frequency-domain light curve analysis of eclipsing variables.
