At present, more than 700 exoplanetary systems are known to have been discovered. They incorporate more than 130 multiplanet systems, i.e. those hosting two or more planets. The orbital resonance and near-resonance phenomena are ubiquitous in them. We present a statistical and dynamical analysis of...
