Double-mode RR Lyrae stars (RRd) represent a fundamental testing ground for the theory of stellar pulsation because they play an important role in understanding the interaction between different pulsation modes. In spite of the fact that from an observational point of view the identification of the fundamental (F) and first overtone (IO) periods needs only few periods of light curve coverage (Sandage et al. 1981, Nemec 1985), the theoretical models of double-mode and mixed-mode variables dating back to the original papers of Cox et al. (1983) and Stellingwerf (1975) were not integrated for long enough times to ensure proper mode identification. Recently Kovacs and Buchler (1992) using a standard radiative hydrodynamical code investigated the theoretical properties of RRd stars in more detail. This paper represents a brief description of the results of few cases computed adopting a non-linear, non-local treatment of convective transport, and long integration times to enable positive mode identification.
