Non linear fitting with constraints

I have a function that uses 9 inputs (cts(1) to cts (9)) and provides 1 value as result. The function needs 4 parameters (c(1) to c(4)). The code of the function is:
fun = @(c,cts) ((c(1) .* (4-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 4)) *cts(1,:) +...
((c(1) .* (5-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 5)) *cts(2,:)+ ...
((c(1) .* (6-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 6)) *cts(3,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (7-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 7)) *cts(4,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (8-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 8)) *cts(5,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (9-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 9)) *cts(6,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (10-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 10)) *cts(7,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (11-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 11)) *cts(8,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (12-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 12)) *cts(9,:)
I have 11 measured values with each 9 inputs. From this data set I want to fit the parameters c. A condition that applies for only the first row of the input is that
((c(1) .* (4-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 4)) *cts(1,1) must be greater than ((c(1) .* (5-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 5)) *cts(2,1). Is there an algorithm which can do that? I already tried lsqcurvefit without this constraint, but the fitted parameters do not follow the condition.
Thank you for your time.

You would have to use fmincon, which will let you specify non-linear constraints.

I tried to use fmincon, but I realized that I have to pass parameters from the optimization to my non linear constraint and it is not obvious to me how I can pass them. In detail, I have my function and inputs from above. The objective to minimize and the constraints function:
fun = @(c) ((c(1) .* (4-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 4)) *cts(1,:) +...
((c(1) .* (5-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 5)) *cts(2,:)+ ...
((c(1) .* (6-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 6)) *cts(3,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (7-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 7)) *cts(4,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (8-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 8)) *cts(5,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (9-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 9)) *cts(6,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (10-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 10)) *cts(7,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (11-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 11)) *cts(8,:) + ...
((c(1) .* (12-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 12)) *cts(9,:)
objective = @(c) sum(((fun(c)-y) ./ y).^2); % To minimize
The constraint is that the first term (c(1) .* (4-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 4)) *cts(1,1) must be greater than the second term (c(1) .* (5-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 5)) *cts(2,1), but only in the first row.
function [a, ceq] = nonlcon(m,c,cts)
a = (c(1) .* (5-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 5)) *cts(2,1) - ...
(c(1) .* (4-c(4))) ./ (c(2)+c(3) .* 4)) *cts(1,1) ;
ceq= [];
end
The fmincon line looks like this
A_opt = fmincon(objective,[1 1 1 1],[],[],[],[],[],[],@(c,cts)nonlcon(m,c,cts)
Obviously there is an error because I gave fmincon not enough input arguments. But the additional input arguments c are the parameters which fmincon should fit. Is there a way to pass nonlcon the current values of the optimization for the parameters?

It would be more obvious if you copy/pasted the exact error messages, but my guess is that this will fix it,
c_opt = fmincon(objective,[1 1 1 1],[],[],[],[],[],[],@(c)nonlcon(m,c,cts) )
That worked. Many thanks
