Scientific paper

The present characterization of properties of the LMC's family of star clusters proceeds on the basis of an algorithm suitable for a theoretical approach to cluster photometry diagrams, luminosity functions, integrated magnitudes and colors, and total masses. Attention is given to the effect of unresolved binary stars on alleviating the discrepancy between the age determined from the main-sequence stars and the age determined from the red giant stars; the possibility that delayed star formation has occurred in the case of NGC 1831 is explored.
