Well, you could add the squares of dm. I mean,
function dm = llgfix(t,m,param)
dm = zeros(3,1);
dm(1) = f1(m(1),m(2),m(3));
dm(2) = f2(m(1),m(2),m(3));
dm(3) = f3(m(1),m(2),m(3));
% And here is the change:
dm = sum(dm.^2);
end
This will have fmincon try to minimize the sum of squares of the vector
field, which should give you the solution you seek.
If it fails, then start at a different point. And I suggest you set the
fmincon algorithm to interior-point.
Good luck,
