	abstract = {<p>In the present work a systematic methodology for computing dynamic output stabilizing feedback control laws for nonlinear systems subject to saturating inputs is presented. In particular, the class of Lur{\textquoteright}e type nonlinear systems is considered. Based on absolute stability tools and a modified sector condition to take into account input saturation effects, an \{LMI\} framework is proposed to design the controller. Asymptotic as well as input-to-state and input-to-output (in a L2 sense) stabilization problems are addressed both in regional (local) and global contexts. The controller structure is composed of a linear part, an anti-windup loop and a term associated to the output of the dynamic nonlinearity. Convex optimization problems are proposed to compute the controller considering different optimization criteria. A numerical example illustrates the potentialities of the methodology.</p>
