CAGE User's Guide

Optimization Template

To view the template M-file, at the command line, locate the mbctraining directory and open the file

• mbcOStemplate.m
  

There are two sections:

• The Options section. Here you can set up these seven attributes:
• Name
• Description
• Free variables
• Objective functions
• Constraints
• Operating point sets
• Optimization parameters

• See Methods of cgoptimoptions for information about setting up the options section.

• The Evaluate section. Place your optimization routine in here. CAGE calls this section when the Run button is clicked.

• Your optimization interacts with CAGE through the cgoptimstore object and must conform to the following syntax:

  • optimstore = <Your_Optimization> (optimstore)
    

  where <Your_Optimization> is the name of your optimization function.

  Any subfunctions called by your optimization routine should also be placed at the bottom of the Evaluate section.

In order to access the information in the cgoptimstore, a number of functions are offered. These are described in the next section, List of Optimization Functions.

If you leave the cgoptimoptions function unchanged, your optimization function must be able to support the default options. That is, your optimization will have:

• One objective
• Any number of constraints (selected by the user in CAGE )
• Either no operating point set or one operating point set (selected by the user in CAGE )
