In this paper, we first present some new sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of continuous-time cascade systems. Then, we give some detailed results on the region of attraction of continuous-time cascade systems. Some examples are presented to illustrate these results.
Keywords: global asymptotic stability; the region of attraction; continuous-time cascade systems.
