7-2 Optimization Using MATLAB


❑ Functions
o Functions accepts input arguments and return outputs arguments.
❑ Local functions

o A function can be defined locally @(x).

➢ Evaluate: 𝑦 = sin 𝑥 + cos 𝑥 − 𝑥 2 + 20

fx1=@(x) sin(x)+cos(x)-x^2+20;
yx1=fx1(2) % Evaluate fx1 at x=2

❑ External functions
o A function m.file that accepts an input argument 𝑥 and
returns an output argument 𝑦 = 𝑓1(𝑥).

➢ Evaluate: 𝑦 = sin 𝑥 + cos 𝑥 − 𝑥 2 + 20


Write the following in the f1.m file:
function y=any_name(x)
y=sin(x)+cos(x)-x^2+20;
end
Save f1.m file

❑ fminsearch
fminsearch Multidimensional unconstrained nonlinear
minimization (Nelder-Mead).

X = fminsearch(FUN,X0)
starts at X0 and attempts to find a local minimizer X of the
function FUN. FUN is a function handle. FUN accepts input
X and returns a scalar function value F evaluated at X. X0 can
be a scalar, vector or matrix.

[X,FVAL]= fminsearch(...)
returns the value of the objective function, described in FUN,
at X.

❑ fminunc
fminunc finds a local minimum of a function of several variables.

X = fminunc(FUN,X0)
starts at X0 and attempts to find a local minimizer X of the
function FUN. FUN accepts input X and returns a scalar
function value F evaluated at X. X0 can be a scalar, vector or
matrix.

[X,FVAL] = fminunc(FUN,X0)
returns the value of the objective function, described in FUN,
at X.

❑ fmincon
fmincon finds a constrained minimum of a function of several
variables.

fmincon attempts to solve problems of the form:


minimize F(X)
subject to:
𝐴 ∗ 𝑋 ≤ 𝐵, 𝐴𝑒𝑞 ∗ 𝑋 = 𝐵𝑒𝑞 (linear constraints)
𝐶(𝑋) ≤ 0, 𝐶𝑒𝑞(𝑋) = 0 (nonlinear constraints)
𝐿𝐵 ≤ 𝑋 ≤ 𝑈𝐵 (bounds)

7-2 Optimization Using MATLAB 12


[ME 488] Design of Thermal systems Dr. Asad Alebrahim

fmincon(FUN,X0,A,B,Aeq,Beq,LB,UB,NONLCON)
minimizes FUN while satisfying the inequality constraints, 𝐴 ∗
𝑋 ≤ 𝐵 , the equality constraints 𝐴𝑒𝑞 ∗ 𝑥 = 𝑏𝑒𝑞 and, also,
defines a set of lower and upper bounds on the design variables,
X, so that the solution is in the range 𝐿𝐵 ≤ 𝑋 ≤ 𝑈𝐵.
Also, it subjects the minimization to the constraints defined in
NONLCON. The function NONLCON accepts X and returns
the vectors C and Ceq, representing the nonlinear inequalities
and equalities respectively. fmincon minimizes FUN such that
C(X) ≤ 0 and Ceq(X) = 0. (Set an empty matrix, [], for any non-
existing constraint or bound.)

[X,FVAL] = fmincon(FUN,X0,...)
returns the value of the objective function FUN at the solution
X.
