Abstract :
This work belongs to the realm of forwarding. First, assumptions which allow us to construct a more general class of Lyapunov functions than the ones obtained so far are given. Next, we exploit this result to prove a new global stabilization result for a cascade with a coupling term which does not satisfy the standard growth assumption
