This work studies the influence of some constraints on a stabilizing feedback law. It is considered an abstract nonlinear control system for which we assume that there exists a linear feedback law that makes the origin of the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable. This controller is then modified via a cone-bounded nonlinearity. A well-posedness and a stability theorems are stated. The first theorem is proved thanks to the Schauder fixed-point theorem, the second one with an infinite-dimensional version of LaSalle's Invariance Principle. These results are illustrated on a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation by some simulations and on a nonlinear heat equation.
