Hi, I want to optimize the objective function where and are complex numbers I intend to use genetic algorithm but I wonder if the decison variables (reprsented as complex numbers) can actualy be optimized in matlab.

Sure, a complex decision variable is nothing more than the sum of 2 real-valued decision-variables - where you multiply one of them with 1i. From there it is just to look at fminsearch or possibly fminsearchbnd or minimize on the file exchange.
