MATLAB: What is a appropriate method to maximize function subject to nonlinear equality constraint? can we use fmincon

Question

I want to maximize a function subject to nonlinear equality constraint, I wonder that fmincon can use with this problem or not? as we know fmincon is used to minimize the functions.

Answer 1

Yes, you can use a nonlinear constaint; see http://www.mathworks.com/help/optim/ug/fmincon.html#inputarg_nonlcon
