OptimizationTipsandTricks

  New users and old of optimization in MATLAB will find useful tips and tricks in this document, as well as examples one can use as templates for their own problems. Use this tool by editing the file optimtips.m, then execute blocks of code in cell mode from the editor, or best, publish the file to HTML. Copy and paste also works of course. Some readers may find this tool valuable if only for the function pleas - a partitioned least squares solver based on lsqnonlin. This is a work in progress, as I fully expect to add new topics as I think of them or as suggestions are made. Suggestions for topics I ve missed are welcome, as are corrections of my probable numerous errors. The topics currently covered are listed below(New users and old of optimization in MATLAB will find useful tips and tricks in this document, as well as examples one can use as templates for their own problems.
