Rational blow-down along Wahl type plumbing trees of spheres

In this article, we construct smooth 4–manifolds homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to ${ℂ ℙ}^{2} # k {\bar{ℂ ℙ}}^{2}$ , for $k \in {6, 7, 8, 9},$ using the technique of rational blow-down along Wahl type plumbing trees of spheres (see J Wahl, Smoothings of normal surface singularities, Topology 20 (1981) 219–246).
