Abstract
Second-order anharmonic pulsational amplitudes are investigated for a variety of polytropic models. It is found that the qualitative behavior of these amplitudes is decisively affected by the existence of resonances - this remaining true even when a given model is itself not in a resonant situation. An empirical asymptotic formula is given for the normal mode spectra of polytropes. The question of resonances is discussed for real stars, and a suggestion made for classifying Cepheid-type pulsators on the basis of resonant properties. Finally, invalid numerical results from an earlier work (Simon, 1971) are corrected in the Appendix.
