In this paper, we present a numerical algorithm for computing ISS Lyapunov functions for continuous-time systems which are input-to-state stable (ISS) on compact subsets of the state space. The algorithm relies on a linear programming problem and computes a continuous piecewise affine ISS Lyapunov function on a simplicial grid covering the given compact set excluding a small neighborhood of the origin. The objective of the linear programming problem is to minimize the gain. We show that for every ISS system with a locally Lipschitz right-hand side our algorithm is in principle able to deliver an ISS Lyapunov function. For $C^2$ right-hand sides a more efficient algorithm is proposed.
Keywords: Nonlinear systems, linear programming., local ISS Lyapunov function, local input-to-state stability, robust Lyapunov function.
