gamultiobj: How do I minimize one function and maximize the other

Given: function 2 is dependent upon function 1.

[Torsten]

If the two functions are dependent upon each other, it won't in general be possible to minimize the first while maximizing the second. You will have to find a compromise - that's what Pareto optima obtained from gamultiobj do.

Thanks. What if I wanted to maximize a single function? I tried:

@(x)-Lobo(x(1), x(2), x(3), x(4), x(5))

I didn't work. It's still minimizing.

[Walter Roberson]

Yes, but it is minimizing the negative of the value, which is the same as maximizing the value.

[Torsten]

If I wanted to maximize a single function, I would not use gamultiobj.

To find the maximum, if the function is positive, shift it down (subtract a really big value) such that it is completely negative and then take the aboslute value. You will find your x where the maximum is.... then plug it into the original function and you will find your maximum

[Kurt Stewart]

One way to do it anyways
