Hey,
i want to optimize a constrainted function using fmincon. To find the global optimum, i found out that the use of MultiStart is helpful. My function looks like this
Here is my code for the use of fmincon
a = [pi/11, pi/7, pi/6, pi/3];
weights=weights/sum(weights);
fun = @(a) sqrt(sum( weights(:).*( 1 + 2*sum( (-1).^p.*cos(k(:).*a(p)) ,2) ).^2) );
A = [1, -1,0,0;0, 1, -1, 0; 0,0,1,-1];
ub = [pi/4,pi/4,pi/4,pi/4];
function [c,ceq] = modindex(a,p)
ceq = 4/pi.*( 1 + 2*sum( (-1).^p.*cos(a(p)) ,2 ))-0.6;
nlcon = @(a) modindex(a,p);
x = fmincon(fun, a, A, B, Aeq, Beq, lb, ub,nlcon)
For the use of fmincon this code works, but now i want to run it with MultiStart. My question is how to respect all of my constraints?
My first try was this
problem = createOptimProblem('fmincon', 'objective', fun, 'x0', [pi/11, pi/7, pi/6, pi/3],'A', [1, -1,0,0;0, 1, -1, 0; 0,0,1,-1],...
'b',[0,0,0], 'Aeq', [], 'beq', [], 'lb', [0,0,0,0], 'ub', [pi/4,pi/4,pi/4,pi/4], 'nonlcon', @(a) modindex(a,p));
ms = MultiStart( 'UseParallel', 'allways', 'StartPointstoRun', 'bounds');
[x,f] = run(ms, problem, 10)
This doesnt work, "No field A exists for PROBLEM structure."
What does my code must look like, that all of the constraints are respected?
Kind regards
