how to get ride of negative value of minimizing fitness function in matlab

To get rid of the negative values of a minimizing fitness function in MATLAB, you can use the following method:

1. Define your fitness function as a separate function file or inline function in MATLAB.

2. Modify the fitness function in a way that it returns the absolute value of the fitness score. This can be done using the abs() function in MATLAB.

Here's an example implementation:

main.m
% Fitness function
function fitness = minimizeFitness(x)
    % Evaluate the fitness based on your logic
    fitness = abs(x); % Take the absolute value of x
end

% Example usage
lowerBound = -10;
upperBound = 10;
x = linspace(lowerBound, upperBound, 100); % Sample values between the lower and upper bounds
fitnessVals = minimizeFitness(x);

% Plot the fitness values
plot(x, fitnessVals);
xlabel('x');
ylabel('Fitness');

In this example, the minimizeFitness() function returns the absolute value of the input x, effectively getting rid of any negative fitness values. You can adjust the logic inside the function as per your specific requirements.

I hope this helps!
