编辑： INFOZOU 2017-8-20

I am getting errors while using fsolve or fzero in the following code:

U = 1;    
while U < 20
eq = @(q) 2.*(1-cos(2.*pi.*q));
hq = @(q,n0) ((eq(q)).^2+2.*U.*n0.*(eq(q))).^0.5;
y = @(q,n0) (((eq(q))+(U.*n0))./hq(q,n0))-1;
a = -0.5;
c = -0.01;
v = @(n0) (integral(@(q) y(q,n0),a,c));
cv =@(n0) n0+(0.5*v(n0))-1;    
n0 = fzero(cv(n0),0.1);
plot(U,n0)
hold on 
U = U + 1;
end

Can anyone please help me out?

Ah well, why not do instead

n=fminbnd(@(n0) abs(cv(n0)), 0,1 )

cv is a function handle, i.e., perfectly valid for fzero to work on. It is a function that takes one argument, and returns an output that can be minimized.

cv(n0) is a variable. A number. Well, it would be, if n0 was defined. It may be so in your workspace, as otherwise, you would have gotten a different error before fzero was even entered.

Regardless, cv(n0) is NOT one of the valid things fzero can minimize.

There IS a difference. While you may THINK of cv as being a function of n0, when MATLAB sees the expression cv(n0), it looks around and says to itself, yep, I found n0. I found cv. It will evaluate that expression, then pass it in as an argument to a function called fzero.

Only then does fzero take control. It sees what was passed in, in this case, the variable that contains the result of cv(n0), where again, n0 MUST have been defined in your workspace, else you would have gotten a different error. That value is indeed NOT a function. Just a number. So fzero gets upset and tells you:

" FUN must be a function, a valid string expression, or an inline function object"

So the solution is simple. Remove the (n0) in your calls to fzero or to fsolve, like this:

n0 = fzero(cv,0.1);

I have the same error for the following code:

The approach you need to take is to construct a vector that is numel(Qr) + numel(QA) + numel(Rapt) + numel(QP) long, containing [Qr0(:); QA0(:); Rapt0(:); QP0(:)] where here the *0 indicates the initial value for the corresponding matrix.

You also need to express all of your linear constraints in terms of corresponding positions in that long vector.

Then you call fmincon() with the handle of an objective function, and the initial value vector, and the various constraint matrices.

Inside the objective function, you can do things like

Qr = reshape( X(17:52), 3, 2, 6 );

in order to extract from vector into variable names and shapes that are more understandable. And then you calculate the value of the objective function given those particular input values.

To emphasize: at the level of the fmincon() call, the matrices such as Qr and QA have no individual identity: everything has been spliced together into one continuous vector, which your objective function can then pull parts out of as needed.

You should be able to vectorize most of your multiplications using .* and then summing, or perhaps using * with appropriate transposes of the matrices to get the sizes to match. I see a couple of places in the formulas where you should be able to replace the multidimensional sum of A(I,J,K) x B(I,J,K,L) with sum(sum(sum(A.* sum(B,4),1),2,3) or something like that.

Well, I have attached altered files that at least allow the fmincon to run.

I am certain that you have coded your fminconstr incorrectly, but at least it runs. For example, your constraint on Qr should be an equality constraint, and instead of computing Qr, you should be computing the value and comparing it to Qr.

However, I could not do anything about your use of the undefined variable intcon . Note that fmincon is not for use with integer constraints -- or rather, if you want integer constraints then you need to code them as aspects of the non-linear constraints function, rejecting any values that are not integers (This will not be efficient.)

The minimization will run for a half hour or so -- I had to push the maximum function evaluations and the maximum iterations way up to get it to stop saying that it hadn't been given enough resources to finish. Now it finishes with

Converged to an infeasible point.

fmincon stopped because the size of the current step is less than the default value of the step size tolerance but constraints are not satisfied to within the selected value of the constraint tolerance.

exitflag = -2

fval = -4.66972258728847e+16

This is, I am sure, partly caused by you not having expressed your nonlinear constraints properly, but I can also see that it is headed for a negative infinity solution.

Thank you very much. I will check it out.

Hello

I have changed the objfun=-sum(objvec) because I should to maximize this function
I have added the lower bounds zeros(size(obj)) to obtain only positive results of X
I have changed the Non linear constraints by the following expression: Qr(nn,1,ii,jj)=min(sum(QA(:,nn,ii,jj)),DE(nn,1,ii,jj)); Qr(nn,2,ii,jj)=min(sum(QA(:,nn,ii,jj))-Qr(nn,1,ii,jj),DE(nn,2,ii,jj));
I want to verify if there are a difference in the constraints between: a*x<b and x*a<b and how I change the program for the second case.

I have obtained the following result: > In backsolveSys In solveKKTsystem In computeTrialStep In barrier In fmincon (line 798) In masterFINALMODEL2 (line 249) Warning: Matrix is close to singular or badly scaled. Results may be inaccurate. RCOND = 1.590792e-16.

Solver stopped prematurely.

fmincon stopped because it exceeded the function evaluation limit, options.MaxFunctionEvaluations = 1000000 (the selected value).

exitflag =

     0
fval =
-1.1377e+23

I have tried using the optimisation tool also but there are the same problem and I have obtained the attached results.
