It is now accepted without any doubts that the central stars of Planetary Nebulae (CPN) are rapidly evolving objects in the transition from the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) to the white-dwarf regime. After the pioneering study of Paczyński (1971) it has been demonstrated by Schönberner (1981) that Paczyński's calculations are too crude for the understanding of post-AGB evolution because the latter depends very sensitively on the detailed internal stellar structure, i.e. on the past AGB evolution. More precisely, the evolution of an AGB remnant is a function of the thermal-pulse cycle phase ϕ during which this remnant has been created by the planetary-nebula (PN) formation process. This has been shown by Schönberner (1979, 1983) and later fully been explored by Iben (1984).
