A sum-of-squares (SOS) approach is proposed to estimate the domain of attraction (DoA) of regulated nonlinear polynomial time-delay systems subject to input constraints. It will be shown that the joint use of semialgebraic geometric arguments and semidefinite programming methods provides an efficien...
