In this paper we present a result on existence of unbounded solutions for a class of time varying systems and apply it to discuss discrete-time cascade systems by investigating how growth rates of connection terms fails the global asymptotic stability of the zero solutions of cascade systems.
Keywords: global asymptotic stability; global boundedness; growth rates; time varying systems; cascade systems.
