how to plot optimization figure as genetic algorithm iteration on vertical y and fitness minimize function as horizental x in matlab

To plot the optimization figure with the genetic algorithm iteration on the vertical y-axis and the fitness minimize function on the horizontal x-axis in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define your fitness function. This function takes a set of inputs as its argument and returns a fitness value that you want to minimize.

  2. Define the options for the genetic algorithm. You can use the gaoptimset function to set the options. Specify the output function using the 'PlotFcns' option. The output function will be called at each iteration of the genetic algorithm.

  3. Create the output function, which will be called at each iteration. Inside this function, you can plot the iteration on the y-axis and the fitness value on the x-axis. You can use the plot function to create the plot.

Here is an example code that demonstrates how to plot the optimization figure in MATLAB:

main.m
% Step 1: Define the fitness function
fitnessFcn = @(x) sum(x.^2);

% Step 2: Define the options for the genetic algorithm
options = gaoptimset('PlotFcns', {@gaplotbestf});

% Step 3: Define the output function for plotting
outputFcn = @(options, state, flag) plot(state.Generation, state.Best(end), 'ro');

% Step 4: Run the genetic algorithm with the defined functions and options
[x, fval] = ga(fitnessFcn, numberOfVariables, options);

% Step 5 (optional): Plot the final result
plot(state.Generation, state.Best(end), 'ro');
xlabel('Iteration');
ylabel('Fitness Value');
title('Optimization Figure');

In this example, the fitnessFcn defines the fitness function to minimize, options set the options for the genetic algorithm, and outputFcn defines the output function for plotting. The gaplotbestf function is used as the output function, which plots the best fitness value at each generation. The ga function is used to run the genetic algorithm with the defined functions and options. Finally, the result is plotted using the plot function.

Make sure to replace numberOfVariables with the actual number of variables in your optimization problem.

Note: The code provided above assumes that you have the Genetic Algorithm Toolbox installed in MATLAB.

I hope this helps!
