Minimizing Functions and Finding Zeros

MATLAB provides a number of high-level function functions that perform optimization-related tasks. This section describes:

• Minimizing a function of one variable
• Minimizing a function of several variables
• Setting minimization options
• Finding a zero of a function of one variable
• Converting your code to MATLAB Version 5 syntax

For more optimization capabilities, see the Optimization Toolbox.
