NonLinear contraint fmincon matlab

<t>Thanx for the tip!i have the initial parameters vector x = [.00000502 .589 .00000132 421.39 .2]so i've created a new M-File that computes nonlconfunction [c ceq] = lcon(x)c=x(2)+x(3)*(x(4)^2)-1;ceq=[];and then I insert this contraint in FMINCON as follows (this is the maximization M-file)function...

NonLinear contraint fmincon matlab

hi,i have to find the maximum of a given constrained function but i have also a nonlinear constraint, something like a*b^2<1. Fmincon accepts just linear constraint so i don't know how can i add the non-linear inequality!any suggestion?

Portfolio Optimization with turnover constraints

hi, i'm working on the heston-nandi (1999) paper. I have to find the maximum of the log likelihood function but if i use fmincon the algorithm get stuck in local maxima! if i change the starting points things don't improve that much! any suggestion?regards
