Parallel Gradient Estimation Available in fmincon Interior-Point Algorithm
The fmincon solver's interior-point algorithm can now compute finite differences
in parallel in order to speed the estimation of gradients. For details on how to use this
parallel gradient estimation, see the Parallel Computing for Optimization chapter in the
User's Guide.
Enhanced Exit Messages in Selected Solvers
Solvers print exit messages by default at the end of their runs. The exit messages are
different in R2009a for several solvers, and the messages have been enhanced with new
functionality. The following sections describe the new features and changes. There is
more information in the Exit Flags and Exit Messages section of the User's Guide.
The following solvers have enhanced exit messages:
• fgoalattain
• fmincon
• fminimax
• fminunc
• fseminf
Links to More Information Window
The enhanced exit messages include hyperlinks within their exit messages. These
hyperlinks bring up a window containing further information about the terms used in the
exit messages.
Link for More Detail in Command Window
A <stopping criteria details> hyperlink may appear at the end of an exit
message, depending on the solver and setting of the Display option. This link causes the
solver to print more detail about the exit conditions to the MATLAB Command Window.
New Display Option Values Control Default Detail
There are new values of the Display option to control whether detailed exit messages
appear instead of the default (simpler) messages. The new values are:
• 'final-detailed'
