Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic stability of the zero solution and boundedness of all solutions of a certain third order nonlinear ordinary vector differential equation. The results are proved using Lyapunov’s second (or direct method). Our results include and improve some well known results existing in the literature.
