MATLAB: Fmicon constraint violation issue

fmincon

Hi all,

I am running an optimization using fmicon, when it runs I get this message

"Optimization stopped because the relative changes in all elements of x are less than options.StepTolerance = 1.000000e-10, but the relative maximum constraint violation, 4.592712e-02, exceeds options.ConstraintTolerance = 1.000000e-06."

any ideas how to fix it?

thanks

Nikolas

For a general question such as this, here is the general documentation:

Converged to an Infeasible Point

If you want more specific advice, then you need to give more details.

MATLAB: Call function in fmicon optimization failing

The fmincon documentation clearly states that the first input " fun is a function that accepts a vector or array x and returns a real scalar f, the objective function evaluated at x". So it only accepts one input, which can be a vector or matrix. How many inputs does revenue have?

You need to parameterize the function, e.g. using an anonymous function and assuming that all of HH, ro, etc. are defined in that workspace, and the first input price is that one that you want to optimize:

fun = @(x) revenue(x,HH,ro,g,eff,x0,N,k1);
fmincon(fun,...)

MATLAB: Does the “ga” function violate a linear constraint even though the exitflag was 1

Although the "exitflag" is 1, this does not necessarily mean that all of the constraints are satisfied. The "ga" function uses the "ConstraintTolerance" setting to determine the "exitflag" of 1. For more detail on this, please refer to the documentation page for "ga" at the following link:https://www.mathworks.com/help/gads/ga.html#outputarg_fvalI recommend tightening the "ConstrantTolerance" setting to see if it fixes the violation. You can do this using the "optimoptions" function. Please see the following example:

options = optimoptions('ga','ConstraintTolerance',1.0000e-06)

For more information on what options you can set, please refer to this documentation link:
