Abstract
Four eclipsing binaries, which show apparent changes of period, have been studied with respect to a possible presence of the light-time effect. With a least squares method we calculated new light elements of these systems, the mass function of the predicted third body, and its minimum mass. We discuss the probability of the presence of such bodies in terms of mass function, changes in radial velocity and third light in solution of light curves.
