MATLAB: Matlab does not have a fmaxsearch

fminsearch

I know that Matlab has a fminsearch, but why it does not have a fmaxsearch?

Best Answer

Because you can easily convert a maximization problem to a minimization problem just by multiplying the function by -1.

You also get no solution from lsqlin if you supply an initial guess for x0 (like in the case where you use fmincon) ?

MATLAB: Does executing Example 2 for FMINSEARCH in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) result in an error

This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

This is an error in the documentation for MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) within the FMINSEARCH section. The documentation should read as follows:

x = fminsearch(@(x) myfun(x,a),[0 1]);

rather than:

x = fminsearch(@(x) myfun(x,a), 0, 1);
