Further results on the regulation problem for linear systems with constraints on control and its increment

The regulator problem for both discrete-time and continuous-time linear systems is considered.  The control and its increments are under non-symmetrical constraints and the domain of constraints includes the origin on its boundary.  We derive necessary and sufficient conditions which ensure the satisfaction of all the constraints and also the asymptotic stability by a state feedback. An illustrative example shows the application of our method.
