Output Functions and Plot Functions for GlobalSearch and MultiStart

Use output functions or plot functions with GlobalSearch and MultiStart to report and plot information on algorithm progress during runs. You can also stop the solvers according to criteria you set. For more information, see Output Functions for GlobalSearch and MultiStart and Plot Functions for GlobalSearch and MultiStart.

Compatibility Considerations

In order to make exit flags have more uniform meaning across solvers, two GlobalSearch and MultiStart exit flags have different meanings than in R2010a:

Exit FlagMeaning
-1GlobalSearch or MultiStart stopped by an output function or plot function (regardless of local solver exit flag)
-8No solution found; all local solver runs had exit flag -1 or smaller

Demo Removed

The demo titled "Using the Genetic Algorithm with the Parallel Computing Toolbox™" was removed from the toolbox. The demo used more complex parallelization techniques than those in the Optimization Toolbox™ demo titled "Minimizing an Expensive Optimization Problem Using Parallel Computing Toolbox."
