AB  - The recently developed generalized functional method provides a means of 
      designing nonimaging concentrators and luminaires for use with extended sources 
      and receivers. We explore the mathematical relationships between optical designs 
      produced using the generalized functional method and edge-ray, aplanatic, and 
      simultaneous multiple surface (SMS) designs. Edge-ray and dual-surface aplanatic 
      designs are shown to be special cases of generalized functional designs. In 
      addition, it is shown that dual-surface SMS designs are closely related to 
      generalized functional designs and that certain computational advantages accrue 
      when the two design methods are combined. A number of examples are provided.
