Hi,
I would like to express the following objective function in a simulink level-2 matlab s-function block using fmincon as solver:
f(x,y) = x*tan(y(k+1)) + c*(y(k+1)-y(k))
where k is the step time.
My problem is in the variable y, I can't express it to be able to use it in fmincon and, all my attempts so far have been unsuccessful.
Your help will be very important to me!
Thank you...

To use fmincon, the objective function must accept a single input variable, which can be a vector. So for your function, you can pass it to fmincon as
sol = fmincon(@(x) f(x(1), x(2)), ..... )
Note that the initial point x0 also need to be 1x2. The returned value will also be 1x2.

what you say is true, but if you look closely at this expression, you will notice that the function f(x,y) depends on the previous and next value of the input variable y, or in your case X(2).
My problem is indeed at this level. ie express y(k+1)-y(k) with y=1x1.
thanks

I missed that point. How is your objective function defined mathematically? Are x and y vectors or scalar? Does y(k+1)-y(k) denotes difference of two consecutive elements of vector y, or is it a difference in time?

I am not sure whether fmincon can help in such a case. You may need to reformulate the optimization problem such that the value of the objective function can be evaluated just by using input variables.
