Do you know if is it better to supply the gradient using 'fminunc'? For better I mean the time spent for analysis, and its accuracy.

I'm not an expert on this, but I believe that if you don't provide the gradient function, then it has to be numerically estimated from your function. Thus providing the gradient (if available) can help the algorithm to converge faster.

I can valuate and provide the gradient, but it comes out from a lot of calculations, and my whole code runs on for loops with more than 1000 elements. So I don't know if it is more expensive to calculate the gradient through code lines, or let the solver fminunc do this. I should try and compare
