Hi Alan
Thanks a lot for your reply. I did try what you suggested: 'Hessian','lbfgs' with the fmincon and this time it works but when I check the optimized variables they all have the same value. Don't get me wrong I am not an expert in optimization, but it is weird to have the same value for the optimized variables? Shall I relax the tolerance? or do you think that it may be a problem inherent to my optimization function?
Thank you
With Regards
S
