abstract:
The natural concepts of Lyapunov, Perron and upper-limit stability of the zero 
solution of a differential system are defined, as well as their numerous 
varieties: from global to particular stability or, respectively, instability. A 
complete coincidence of possibilities of research on the first approximation of 
stability and asymptotic stability of all three types is found. A similar 
coincidence was established for partial and particular stability. The complete 
coincidence of the same possibilities in the case of one-dimensional systems is 
proved.
