Scientific paper

In the system of 320 asteroid orbits presently studied, half correspond to actual asteroids around the 3:1 Kirkwood gap, while the remaining fictitious asteroids are distributed across the gap. All of these orbits are perturbed by Jupiter and Saturn; they are followed over a span of 11.5 million years. Attention is given to the qualitative features of the dynamics obtained. While the main component of the 3:1 gap is well reproduced, the predicted depletion in the adjacent region is much less than that of observational data.
