Greetings All,

I am working on an optimization problem with non linear inequality constraints and i wish to put the objective and constraints functions in the same function;

the problem is that my objective function is not an algebriac expression it is rather an implicit value from Look up tables

i define my objective function as follows

function OBJ = Obj(X)
OBJ = X(11); % where x11 is a value from a generated LUT
end

and here is the non linear constraints function

function [C, CEQ] = NonLinCon(X, LUT1, LUT2, IP)
% vectorized design variables
DOF.M(1).N = X(:,1);
DOF.M(2).N = X(:,2);
DOF.M(3).N = X(:,3);
DOF.M(4).N = X(:,4);
DOF.M(5).N = X(:,5);
DOF.M(1).S = X(:,6);
DOF.M(2).S = X(:,7);
DOF.M(3).S = X(:,8);
DOF.M(4).S = X(:,9);
DOF.M(5).S = X(:,10);
DOF.R = IP.R;          
DOF.VDS_MARGIN = IP.VDS_MARGIN;
DOF.IB = X(:,11).*1e-3;    
DOF.VDD = IP.VDD;
DOF.CL = IP.CL;
DOF.VICM = IP.VICM;
DOF.VOCM = IP.VOCM;
DOF.M(6).N = DOF.M(5).N;
DOF.M(6).S = DOF.M(5).S;
[~, OP] = mainfnc(LUT1,LUT2,DOF);
% Nonlinear Inequality Constraints
C(:,1) = IP.UGF ./ double(OP.UGF) - 1;
C(:,2) = IP.PM ./ double(OP.PM) - 1;
C(:,3) = log10(IP.AVDC) ./ log10(double(OP.AVDC)) - 1;
C(:,4) = IP.FO ./ double(OP.FO) - 1;
C(:,5) = IP.FP1 ./ double(OP.FP1) - 1;
c(:,6) = IP.VO_SWING ./ double(OP.VO_SWING) - 1;
CEQ = [];
end

i cant seem to follow the example provided in the documentation (solver based approach)

Please post your objective function and constraints here. Only then can we have some idea what the issue is here.

It is very important that you do not use nearest-neighbor or linear interpolation to perform the table lookup. You must use a twice differentiable interpolatior, like 'cubic' or 'pchip'. Otherwise, your function and gradient evaluations will be rife with discontinuities, which fmincon cannot handle

i've read the documentation example ; but i dont understand how to apply it in my case; how will i write the computeall function ? do i just give it my function handle @Obj

and then creating the nested function by giving it the same function handle ?

what will the value of y (in nested function objectiveconstr( then be in this case ?

how will i write the computeall function

The computeall function should be written to calculate any variables you want shared between your objective and constraints. Those variables should also be initialized in the workspace of runobjconstr similar to what is done in these lines

xLast = []; % Last place computeall was called
myf = []; % Use for objective at xLast
myc = []; % Use for nonlinear inequality constraint
myceq = []; % Use for nonlinear equality constraint

what will the value of y (in nested function objectiveconstr( then be in this case ?

y is the result of evaluating the objective function. The lines that compute it can use the shared variables generated by computeall(). In the example, these are [myf,myc,myceq], but they can be any shared quantities that you wish.
