A method is presented for determining a control which steers a system to a specified target when there are magnitude constraints on the control. The method is suitable for numerical computation since it only involves solving finite‐dimensional optimization problems. The effectiveness of the technique is illustrated by applying it to the problem of suspending a ferromagnetic rotor in a magnetic field.
