Setting up the fminunc function

Dear all I want to maximize a function, where the univariate unknown, x, with respect to which the maximization takes place is bound between -1 and 1. This is the only constraint. So, I use this

 [xx,fval,exitflag,output,lambda,grad,HH]=fmincon('sfunction',x0,...
 [],[],[],[],-1,1,[],  options,...);

My question is if the set up

 [],[],[],[],-1,1,[]

inside the fmincon function is the correct one.

‘My question is if the set up ... inside the fmincon function is the correct one.’

As I read the documentation, yes, it is, except for the ‘...’ after your ‘options’ call. I have not experimented with something like your code, but the extra ellipsis at the end of the argument list could throw an error. Try it and find out.
