Abstract

In this article my research on the subject described in the title is summarized. I am not the only person who has worked on this subject. For example, several interesting articles by Steve Leth [21], [22], [23] were published around 1988. I would like to apologize to the reader that no efforts have been made by the author to include other people’s research.
