Motions near the 3:1, 4:1 and 5:2 resonances with Jupiter are studied by means of numerical integrations of a semi-analytically averaged Sun-Jupiter-asteroid planar problem. In order to have a model including the very-high-eccentricity regions of the phase space, we adopted a set of local expansions of the disturbing potential, adequate to perform the numerical exploration of regions in the phase space with eccentricities higher than 0.9 (Ferraz-Mello and Klafke, 1991). Individual solutions and qualitative results thus obtained are completely reproduced by numerical integration of the complete equations by filtering off the short-period components of these solutions.
