Abstract

Decades of patrol observations of cataclysmic variables (CVs) show variations of the accretion rate also at a time scale of a few years which may be explained by a solar-type activity of the secondary and/or by orientation changes of the magnetic axis of the white dwarf in polars. Secondary photometric periods seen in TT Ari and possibly some other CVs need theoretical explanation. Irregular variability of some objects is characterized by power-law power spectra with a power index depending on the luminosity state of the system.
