This work presents an approach for estimating the domain of attraction for polynomial systems with state and control-signal constraints including saturation. In many problems, it is possible to derive global stability properties for such systems, neglecting constraints. Consideration of the constraints usually makes the problem much more involved. In this paper, the stability analysis performed for the unconstrained case is used for the problem as a whole. For application of the method, there are powerful computational tools that can be employed in cases of polynomial systems. The technique is not only valid for the analysis of equilibrium points but also for other attractors, such as limit cycles. As examples, the domain of attraction for given control laws is estimated for a nonlinear DC-DC boost converter as well as for a boost inverter.
