simulated annealing minimize fitness function in matlab

To use simulated annealing to minimize a fitness function in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Define the fitness function you want to minimize. This function should take as input a set of parameters and return a scalar value indicating the fitness.

main.m
function fitness = myFitnessFunction(params)
    % Calculate the fitness based on the input parameters
    % Return a scalar value indicating the fitness
end

2. Set the initial guess for the parameter values. This will be used as the starting point for the optimization.

main.m
initialParams = [1, 2, 3]; % Example initial guess

3. Define the constraints on the parameter values if any. This step is optional.

main.m
lb = [0, 0, 0]; % Example lower bounds for the parameters
ub = [10, 10, 10]; % Example upper bounds for the parameters

4. Use the simulannealbnd function to perform the optimization. This function performs simulated annealing-based optimization with bound constraints.

main.m
options = optimoptions('simulannealbnd', 'MaxFunctionEvaluations', 1000); % Set options for the optimization
[optParams, minFitness] = simulannealbnd(@myFitnessFunction, initialParams, lb, ub, options); % Perform the optimization

3 lines

5. The optimizer will output the optimized parameter values in optParams and the minimum fitness value in minFitness.

Now you can use the optimized parameter values in further calculations or analysis.

Note: The result of simulated annealing optimization can vary depending on the initial guess, constraints, and other optimization parameters. You may need to experiment with different settings to get the desired result.

Please make sure to replace myFitnessFunction with your actual fitness function and update the initialParams, lb, and ub vectors according to your specific problem.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
