The long term evolution of the orbits of asteroids is studied by means of proper elements which are quasi-integrals of motion. After a short review of classical theories for secular perturbations, the author presents the state-of-the-art description of the computational use of proper elements. Then the phenomenon of stable chaos is analyzed in two stages employing the computation by mean and proper elements, each involving the interplay of resonances and chaos. The author shows that the stable chaos occurs when a weak resonance affects the mean elements, but the solution of the secular perturbation equations is regular. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0845.00056].
