| Abstract | ||
| Orbital period changes for the Algol-type eclipsing binary AI Dra were studied based on the analysis of its observed times of light minimum. The period variation showed cyclic changes in the interval from JD. ≈ 24 36000 to JD. ≈ 24 47500 and a secular period increase rate (dP/dt = 2.44 × 10 d/year) starting from JD. ≈ 24 48500 up to 24 55262, in a time scale equals to 5 × 10 year. | ||
