Do they have the same meaning as non-stopping?
Thank you

Without any context I would answer 'usually'.

What is "non-stopping"?

Actually, what I has been meaning to mean is without stopping.

Is 'without stopping' = 'non-stopping'?

for example: I have been studying all night without stopping.

Thank you

It's better to say 'I've been studying non-stop all night'.

I have heard non-stopping used on trains- announcements to let you know that the train will now not stop at the station you want, for instance. ;-)
