In particular, we discuss several approaches based on the comparison between the predictions of nonlinear convective pulsation models and observations, to constrain the intrinsic stellar parameters.ELETTRONICOenArticlehttp://sait.oat.ts.astro.it/MSAIt860215/index.html2015MmSAI..86..190MFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
