Abstract
BVIJHK period-luminosity relations for classical cepheids in the galaxy and magellanic clouds which pulsate in the fundamental mode are obtained on the basis of four samples. The period-luminosity relations for the BVI bands obtained here are more accurate than the analogous relations existing up to the present. Period-luminosity relations in terms of W functions are also obtained for these samples and have the same accuracy as the currently existing analogous relations.
