===== Use method for fractal characterisation to classify pulsating stars =====

The idea is to apply different methods able to differentiate among types of pulsating stars. A first test made by Sebastiano suggest that the Phase Method might do the job, since it successfully differentiate (clearly) between solar-like and delta Scuty types.

The bottom objective would be to study the fractal characterisation across the HR diagram, which I think could be cutting-edge work. But we should go step by step, and a first approach might be to apply it to a bunch of stars of different types (solar-like, delta Scuti) and publish a first paper showing the method, tool and first results.
