How to Add Matrix as x0 Variable in fminsearch?

I am using fminsearch to minimize objective function. This requires defining variable x0 (usually vector) as estimates of solution which algorithm uses as starting point of finding solution. However, I want to create many estimates and evaluate objective function for each of these estimates. I tried to define x0 as matrix of estimates, but I didn't get result I wanted.

Answer 1

[Torsten]

for i=1:number_of_estimates

value_of_objective(i) = objective_function(X0(:,i))

end

where X0 is the matrix in which the column vectors are the vectors x0 for which you want to call the objective.
