Additional information

The following article by the late Professor Qi-Ming Wang was submitted after his untimely death. The manuscript was in a form that Professor Qi-Ming Wang would certainly have modified before publication. A substantial rewriting of the article has been performed by Professor Ivan Sterling (Toledo, USA), and the editors are very thankful to him for his successful efforts. They are pleased to be able to pay a tribute to the memory of Professor Qi-Ming Wang in such a way.
