Optimization Toolbox

Introduction

Optimization concerns the minimization or maximization of functions. The Optimization Toolbox consists of functions that perform minimization (or maximization) on general nonlinear functions. Functions for nonlinear equation solving and least-squares (data-fitting) problems are also provided.

This introduction includes the following sections:

• Problems Covered by the Toolbox
• Using the Optimization Functions
