Abstract
Laskar’s results [1] on the chaotic motion of the inner planets, the existence of chaotic regions inside orbital resonances of asteroids, the movement of the rotational axis of Mars [2] and ultimately Earth’s unstable obliquity [3] brought the interest of astronomers back to the problem of chaos in the solar system. The possibilities of studies of chaos were recently widened from the original Poincaré mapping and Lyapunov characteristic coefficient (LCE) to Laskar frequency analysis [1] and [4], sup-map analysis [5], fast Lyapunov indicators [6] and local Lyapunov numbers distribution [7], [8] and [9].
