Abstract
A new criterion is established for global asymptotic stability of seco nd-order systems modeled by equations of the type x = sigma(Ax), where sigma is the saturation function. The derivation is based on the Bend ixon's theorem on limit cycles and a closer study of the trajectories of the systems. Applications to stabilization of more general cascade nonlinear systems are also discussed.
