For the nonlinear optimization problem attached here, how to check, if the function is smooth or not and is it medium scale or large scale problem. Should I use 'fmincon' solver as there is one linear constraint and bounds on the variables?

Hi,
there is no problem attached? But from your description fmincon should indeed be the correct starting point ...

Thanks, Titus. I've attached again. Please tell me how to check 'convexity', 'smoothness' and 'scale' of the problem. Can MATLAB do that?

The problem is smooth: your objective function is rational. Yes, as the Optimization Decision Table shows, for your problem fmincon is the solver of choice.

Smooth = Continuously Differentiable (twice is sufficient as many algorithms compute the Hessian Matrix)
Large Scale = Minimal Linear Algebra in problem (think sparse matrix operations)
Medium Scale = Lots of Linear Algebra (dense matrix operations)

Thanks Hamm, Is there any way to check for smoothness quickly in MATLAB like the convex-checker below, which helps a lot for complex functions. http://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23106-convexchecker/content/convexchecker.m
