The interrelations of the variations in the orbital elements of asteroids at the 2:5 resonance and in its vicinity are investigated.. These investigations are based on the numerical integration of the complete equations of motion of the three-body problem (sun-Jupiter-asteroid) for 500 model asteroids. The time interval under consideration for most versions of the calculations equaled 10(4) orbital periods of Jupiter. The limits of the variations in the orbital elements and the regions of initial data corresponding to different types of interrelations of the variations in the eccentricity and longitude of perihelion are examined. It is shown that thr 2:5 gap may play a larger role than other gaps in the replenishment of the Apollo and Amor groups. The time over which the argument of perihelion changed by 360 degrees was usually equal to two periods of variation in the orbital inclination. When this interrelation was not found, the time over which the longitude of the ascending node changed by 360 degrees was equal, as a rule, to one period of variation in this inclination. For some asteroids moving along orbits of small eccentricity and inclination, interrelations were found between the periods of variation in four orbital elements: eccentricity, inclination, argument of perihelion, and longitude of the ascending node. For initial inclinations i° = 40° of asteroid orbits, the maximum values of inclinations of some model asteroids reached 160 degrees. Such asteroids could reach the sun or nearly parabolic orbits.
