Declared variable shown as undefined

I have a cost function hybrid_cost() defined for optimization. Howver, with N defined, the function hybrid_cost() on running shows -
Undefined function or variable 'N'
Even after declaring N as global, the problem persists.
N=4;
function cost=hybrid_cost(x)
cost=0;
T1=0;
q=zeros(N);
q(1,1)=x(1);
q(N,N)=x(2);
M=create_M(x);
Ai=M+q;
A=zeros(N);
for i=1:P
A=Ai+eyes(size(M,1))*st(i);
c=abs(cof(A,1,N))^2;
T1=T1+c;
end
T1=4/(q1*qn) * T1;
cost=T1;
end

The variable N, should be passed to a function as shown above. Though you have defined the variable outside the function, it cannot be found inside the function unless you declare N as gloabal variable.

"I won't be able to parameterize every function with nesting"
There are two methods shown in the documentation for parameterizing functions: nested functions and anonymous functions. Have you tried using anonymous functions as the documentation shows?
