Abstract
This paper deals with the regulator problem for linear continuous-time systems with asymmetric saturations on the control. The main contribution of this work is to extend the available results for symmetrical saturations, in term of LMIs, to systems with asymmetric saturations. Hence, LMIs formalism is obtained for the first time for asymmetrical saturation. New less conservative result on saturation is used. An example is presented to illustrate the obtained results.
