    The authors present here a detailed discussion on the quasipotential governing time evolution equation of a projection of state vectors onto a definite direction in the Hilbert space of states. After an introduction, the basic equation and their solutions are given. The limiting case, when \(t\to \infty\), is discussed. Solutions of stationary and non-stationary problems are compared. Apart from correcting an error in an earlier work on the subject, an important estimation is made of the quality of approximation, which consists in replacing in the evolution equation of a non-stationary Hamiltonian by its stationary limiting value.
