MATLAB: Over-all sum value in fmincon for multiple x

Question

Sir, i just want to know that how to write the over all sum <= 1-beta in the constraints?

e.g. if value of beta =0.4,

and i have 6 phi values to optimize, i have to optimize its value but the sum of all these 6 phi values not exceed 1-beta (i.e 0.6).

i will be thank full to you, if you could answer this question.

Answer 1

Are you sure you only have 6 unknowns? In your earlier post, you had more.

If you truly only have 6 unknowns, use the A,b inputs in

x = fmincon(fun,x0,A,b,______)

with

A=ones(1,6);
b=1-beta;
