The authors study stability properties of the trivial solution to the perturbed linear differential equation \[ x'=A(t)x+f(t,x) \tag{1} \] in relation with stability properties of the trivial solution to the unperturbed linear system. This problem has been discussed recently for equation (1) by \textit{T. Taniguchi} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 149, No. 2, 583-598 (1990; Zbl 0711.34066)] under the following assumptions on \(a(t)\) and \(f(t,x)\): (i) \(\|f(t,x)\|\leq a(t)\|x\|;\) (ii) \(a(t)\) is a continuous nonnegative real-valued function on \([0,\infty)\) with \(\int_0^\infty a(t) dt<\infty.\) In contrast to the aforementioned paper, the authors consider various stability properties (uniform stability, quasi- strong- equiasymptotic stability, finite uniform stability, etc.) of the trivial solution to system (1) under different assumptions replacing (i) and (ii) which include, for instance, the following conditions on \(f\) and \(a\): (a) \(\|f(t,x)\|\leq m^p a(t)\|x\|^\frac{m}{m+1};\) for all positive integers \(m\geq m_0\) and \(-\infty<p<1;\) (b) \(\|f(t,x)\|\leq a(t)\|x\|^\frac{m}{m+1};\) for all positive integers \(m\geq m_0\); (c) \(\int_0^\infty (t+1)^\gamma a(t) dt<\infty\) for sufficiently small \(\gamma>0\); (d) \(\lim_{m\to\infty} \frac{m^p}{m+1}\int_0^m a(s) ds=0\); (e) \(\lim_{m\to\infty} \frac{1}{m+1}\int_0^m a(s) ds=0.\) No examples are given to illustrate the relevance of the obtained results.
