Abstract
In this paper, we investigate a class of affine nonlinear systems with a triangular-like structure and present its necessary and sufficient condition for global controllability, by using the techniques developed by Sun Yimin and Guo Lei recently. Furthermore, we will give two examples to illustrate its application.
