Minimizing Functions and Finding Zeros

MATLAB provides a number of high-level function functions that perform optimization-related tasks. This section describes:

The MATLAB optimization functions are:

fminbnd
Minimize a function of one variable on a fixed interval
fminsearch
Minimize a function of several variables
fzero
Find zero of a function of one variable
lsqnonneg
Linear least squares with nonnegativity constraints
optimget
Get optimization options structure parameter values
optimset
Create or edit optimization options parameter structure

For more optimization capabilities, see the Optimization Toolbox.
