mlfFmins

Minimize a function of several variables

Note    The mlfFmins routine was replaced by mlfFminsearch in Release 11 (MATLAB 5.3). In Release 12 (MATLAB 6.0), mlfFmins displays a warning and calls mlfFminsearch.

Minimum number of arguments: five, maximum: user-defined. Terminate argument list with a NULL.

C Prototype

mxArray *mlfFmins(mxArray **options_out, mxArray *func, mxArray *x0,
                          mxArray *options_in, mxArray *grad, ...);

C Syntax

#include "matlab.h"

mxArray *x0;                    /* Required input argument(s) */
mxArray *options_in, *P1, *P2;  /* Optional input argument(s) */
mxArray *null_matrix = NULL;    /* Optional input argument(s) */
mxArray *options_out = NULL;    /* Optional output argument(s) */
mxArray *x = NULL;              /* Return value */

mlfAssign(&null_matrix, mlfZeros(mlfScalar(0),mlfScalar(0),NULL));

mlfAssign(&x, mlfFmins(NULL,mxCreateString("func"),
                       x0,NULL,NULL,NULL));
mlfAssign(&x, mlfFmins(NULL,mxCreateString("func"),
                       x0,options_in,NULL,NULL));
mlfAssign(&x, mlfFmins(NULL,mxCreateString("func"),
                       x0,options_in,null_matrix,P1,P2,...,NULL));
mlfAssign(&x, mlfFmins(&options_out,mxCreateString("func"),
                       x0,NULL,NULL,NULL));
mlfAssign(&x, mlfFmins(&options_out,mxCreateString("func"),
                       x0,options_in,NULL,NULL));
mlfAssign(&x, mlfFmins(&options_out,mxCreateString("func"),
                       x0,options_in,null_matrix,P1,P2,...,NULL));

MATLAB Syntax

x = fmins('func',x0)
x = fmins('func',x0,options)
x = fmins('func',x0,options,[],P1,P2, ...)
[x,options] = fmins(...)
