Summary

The main objective of this chapter is to review the continuum-distorted-wave (CDW) model and the continuum-distorted-wave eikonal-initial-state (CDW-EIS) model which at least satisfy the exact asymptotic conditions in the initial and final states. Both the approximations are based on distorted wave perturbation theory.
