This paper addresses the problem of the determination of regions of stability for linear systems with delayed inputs and subject to input saturation through anti-windup strategies. Differently of the most anti-windup techniques, where the design of the anti-windup loop is introduced with the objective of minimizing the performance degradation, we are particularly interested in the synthesis of anti-windup gains in order to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system for regions of admissible initial states as large as possible. With this aim, due to the presence of delay in the input we propose delay dependent results.
