Problem-Based Nonlinear Optimization

Solve nonlinear optimization problems in serial or parallel using the problem-based approach

Before you begin to solve an optimization problem, you must choose the appropriate approach: problem-based or solver-based. For details, see First Choose Problem-Based or Solver-Based Approach.

Formulate your objective and nonlinear constraint functions as expressions in optimization variables, or convert MATLAB® functions using fcn2optimexpr. For problem setup, see Problem-Based Optimization Setup.
