Hi all I want to find maximum of a function that only could be calculated numerically (its gradient or hessian of aren't available). it is something like this: <https://www.dropbox.com/s/bjrrwnkx61o6nqk/untitled.jpg> and i don't mind finding global minimum or local ones (all local maximums are OK) what kind of algorithm do you suggest?

Stick your numerical data in a vector and then call min(.) or max(.) of that vector. This gives you the global min or max.

if the function has ups and downs a lot (the gradient has lots of zeros), then you need to have more data points to be able to detect the min or max. After finding the min or max data point, do an interp1 (if data is 1D) or interp2 (if data is 2D),.. to find more data points near the obtained min or max point. Then run the same algorithm or finding the min or max data point again. Iterate on this procedure up to a point you reach a min acceptable error threshold or reach a min required precision

I recommend first trying fmincon() with the interior-point algorithm, If you know that you want a global optimization, then use patternsearch:
doc fmincon
doc optimoptions
doc patternsearch
