Abstract
The following four chapters deal with stability problems for FDEs. Stability of a process (in particular, of a stationary state) is the ability of the process to resist a priory unknown, small influences (disturbances). A process is said to be stable if such disturbances do not essentially change it. This property turns out to be of utmost importance. We emphasize that an individual predictable process can be physically realized only if it is stable in the corresponding natural sense.
