Formulating maximization problem subject to null-space constraint

I have a maximization problem subjected to a null-space constraint in the form:
Q = max f(x);
subject to: Nullspace(P(x)*H') = 0
Here, 'x' is the independent variable. 'P' is dependent on 'x' and is a matrix. 'H' is a constant matrix.
How can i formulate this optimization problem in MATLAB ? Using 'fmincon' it seems not possible because the equality constraint is a matrix.

What are the dimensions of H and P(x) ?
Then P*H' is 6x12, and the nullspace can never be 0.
Exact. One more reason why the problem as stated is meaningless

FMINCON (or any optimizer) cannot solve this kind of problem, your asmmissible space is not close set, since the constraint can be written as abs(smallest eigen values) > 0.
