Problem in using Function with in a function

I am writing a code to join two GUI blocks. In my code i have genereated matrices A, B, C and X based on the input. now i need to optimize A and B so i added an optimize function to it. But in the optimization i need to use X and C which are already generated in the above function. can any one help how i can declare X and C as global functions so that the optimization will take the same value what ever my first function is generating.

Hi,

you don't need to use global variables. You can use anonymous functions to do so. If this is the function to be optimized:

function y = myobjective(AB, C, X)
% AB is the variable to be optimized, e.g.,
A = AB(1:5);
B = AB(6:10);
y = ...; % compute y with AB, C, X ...

Then in your function where you start the optimization:

C = ...; % compute C
X = ...; % compute X
% now build the objective function handle: C and X are "stored"
% in fun, so when called by optimizer, C and X are passed
fun = @(x) myobjective(x, C, X);
% call optimizer
x = fmincon(fun, ...);

Hope this helps,

Hi Titus,

now i have an another problem in declaring the function.

Imagine

fun(x_o,y_o)=(x,y)

since i am writing code for GUI

my matrix have angles which are given by the user

A=[cos(alpha)...(phi)];

B=[sin(alpha)....];

C=[...tau];

X = [fft(x);fft(y)];

Y =A*(C.*(B*X));

i will generate a valu P based on the output. Based on P i need to optimize alpha and phi.

so i need to use an other function where all the values are declared again and used for optimization.

Now the problem is i need to use the values of C and X which are generated by the first function.

I tried but i didnt able to generate the same values..please help me

Sorry, but I don't quite understand the question...
