New features and changes introduced in this version are:

New Algorithm Option for fmincon (Gradient descent) and lsqnonlin (Nonlinear least squares) Methods, LargeScale (Model size) Option Removed

This version of the product includes changes at the command line to make the fmincon and lsqnonlin methods to be consistent with the Optimization Toolbox™ software:

The following table summarizes values of the new Algorithm option.

MethodAlgorithm Values
fmincon
  • 'active-set' (default)

  • 'trust-region-reflective'

  • 'interior-point'

lsqnonlin
  • 'trust-region-reflective' (default)

  • 'levenberg-marquardt'

Previously, to specify the algorithm at the command line, you set the LargeScale option to 'on' or 'off'. If you used LargeScale='on' in a previous release, use Algorithm='trust-region-reflective' instead. If you used LargeScale='off', use the following instead:

For more information about these options, see the Optimization Toolbox User's Guide.

The Options dialog box includes the following updates to the Gradient descent and Nonlinear least squares methods that correspond to the command-line changes.

When you optimize parameters using the Gradient Descent method, an Algorithm value other than the default value of Active-Set can lead to a slightly different result.

For more information on how to specify the method and its algorithm, see Estimation Options and Optimization Options.

Support for Optimization-Based Compensator Design for Plants with Delays or Specified as Frequency-Response Data

You can now use optimization-based compensator design for frequency-response data (FRD) plants or plants with exact time delays in the SISO Design Tool. For more information, see Designing Optimization-Based Controllers for LTI Systems and Designing Linear Controllers for Simulink Models in the Simulink Design Optimization User's Guide.
