The main purpose of this interesting paper is to prove that for a finite dimensional closed smooth manifold \(M\) the auxiliary Morse functions \(f_j:C_j\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) on the critical submanifolds \(C_j, j=1,\cdots,l\), defining the cascade chain complex and a parameter \(\epsilon >0\) determine an explicit perturbation of the Morse-Bott function \(f:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) to a Morse-Smale function \(h_{\epsilon}:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) (see \textit{D. M. Austin} and \textit{P. J. Braam} [Morse-Bott theory and equivariant cohomology. Hofer, Helmut (ed.) et al., The Floer memorial volume. Basel: Birkhäuser. Prog. Math. 133, 123--183 (1995; Zbl 0834.57017)] and the authors' paper [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 29, No. 6, 1693--1703 (2009; Zbl 1186.37038)]). That is, the two chain complexes have the same generators, and their boundary operators are the same up to a choice of sign.
