What Is Optimization Toolbox?

5 Optimization ToolSpecifying the OptionsTo specify options for the selected solver, use the Options pane. The optionslisted here correspond to the options structure defined by the optimsetfunction available for a solver. For more information on what options areavailable for a particular solver, see “Optimization Options” on page 6-8.Only the options relevant to your problem are available.• “Stopping Criteria” on page 5-30• “Function Value Check” on page 5-32• “User-Supplied Derivatives” on page 5-32• “Approximated Derivatives” on page 5-33• “Algorithm Settings” on page 5-34• “Multiobjective Problem Settings” on page 5-37• “Inner Iteration Stopping Criteria” on page 5-37• “Plot Functions” on page 5-39• “Output function” on page 5-40• “Display to Command Window” on page 5-40Stopping CriteriaStopping criteria determines what causes the algorithm to terminate. TheOptimization Tool uses the following criteria:• Max iterations specifies the maximum number of iterations the algorithmperforms.• Max function evaluations specifies the maximum number of evaluationsof the objective and constraint functions the algorithm performs.• Max nodes specifies the maximum number nodes the bintprog solverexplores.• Time limit (seconds) specifies the maximum time in seconds thealgorithm runs before stopping. This also includes any specified pausetime for the algorithm.5-30
