Scientific paper

The twenty most chaotic objects found among first hundred of numbered asteroids are studied. Lyapunov time calculated with and without inner planets indicates that for eleven of those asteroids the strongest chaotic effect results from the resonances with Mars. The filtered semimajor axis displays an abrupt variation only when a close approach to Mars takes place. The study of the behaviour of the critical argument for candidate resonances can reveal which is responsible for the semimajor axis variation. We have determined these resonances for the asteroids in question. For the asteroids chaotic even without the inner planets we have determined the most important resonances with Jupiter, or three-body resonances.
