In the present minireview, we analyze autonomous and non-autonomous oscillations of dynamical and stochastic systems in the framework of common concepts. We introduce the definition of an attractor for a non-autonomous system. We also propose the definition of self-sustained oscillations, which can be applied for both autonomous and non-autonomous systems. We consider noise-induced oscillations and formulate the definition of stochastic self-sustained oscillations for this case. All the statements made in this work are illustrated by particular examples.
