Regarding the LargeScale and LevenbergMarquardt settings, lsqnonlin will run the LargeScale (a.k.a. trust-region-reflective) algorithm since the parameters are constrained by bounds. This is not an issue.
I agree about the DiffMaxChange being too small. When your parameter (alpha) is on the scale of 1e13, then a difference of 1e-7 will be far too small to get an accurate finite-difference derivative estimate. What might be happening is that the derivative estimate for the first parameter may appear flat:
>> (1e13+1e-7) - 1e13
ans =
0
Try scaling the alpha parameter to be the same scale as the other parameters. Unfortunately, DiffMaxChange and DiffMinChange are one-size fits all options so increasing DiffMaxChange to a larger value may negatively affect your other parameters.
