A supervisory control system which globally regulates to zero the state of a very poorly modeled linear process in the presence of input constraints is proposed in this paper. The model of the process is an unknown member of a family of systems which are open-loop unstable but not exponentially unstable. For the analysis, two switching logics are considered: The hysteresis switching logic and a new type of dwell time switching logic. In both cases, the supervisory control system is shown to regulate to zero all the continuous states of the system.
