Abstract
This paper presents a very simple analytical model, so to test the apparition of stable chaos in the asteroidal belt; the idea, introduced by Milani et al (1996), is that the superposing of all the critical terms with different multiples of the longitude of the pericentres, in the neighborhood of a high-order mean-motion resonance, could explain important jumps in the semi-major axis, even in stable regions, and explain the very short Lyapounov times calculated for test asteroids. The cases of 490 Veritas and 564 Dudu are chosen as test examples.
