In order to describe the fusion of heavy ions we classify the existing models and formulate a new model of the process. The model predicts three regions in the energy dependence of the fusion cross section. The results of calculations are compared with the experimental data. A particular emphasis is given to the discussion of fusion of very heavy nuclei. We explain the differences in product yields of the reactions /sup 84/Kr+/sup 186/W and /sup 40/Ar+/sup 238/U, which lead to similar composite systems. These differences are understood without introduction of the ''l-window'' hypothesis.
