Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox 3.0

Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox™ software extends the optimization capabilities in MATLAB® and Optimization Toolbox™ products with tools for using genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, and direct search. You can use these algo­rithms for problems that are difficult to solve with traditional optimization techniques, including problems that are not well defined or are difficult to model mathematically. You can also use them when computation of the objective function is discontinuous, highly nonlinear, stochastic, or has unreliable or undefined derivatives.
