MATLAB: Is it possible to install GA optimisation on Matlab R2013b

genetic algorithmMATLABoptimisationr2013b

I am trying to run an optimisation function that uses Genetic Algorithms on a computer that has Matlab R2013b, but it is not included into its optimisation toolbox. Is it possible to install this toolbox from later releases?

Best Answer

ga() was supported in R2013b; see https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2013b/gads/ga.html
ga() is part of the Global Optimization Toolbox, not of the Optimization Toolbox.
It is not possible to install toolboxes from later releases.
If you look in the File Exchange, some people have contributed genetic optimization routines.
