Simulation: fminsearch in a for loop

options=optimset('TolFun',1000,'TolX',0.25,'Display','iter','PlotFcns',@optimplotfval);
output=[];fval=[];
for i=1:5
[output(i),fval(i),exitflag,output]=fminsearch(@myfunc,300,i,options);
end

I would like to find an independant set of minima using fminsearch without manually updating @myfunc each time, rather just sending i along with initial guess x0 (300) to the function which corrosponds to an index within the function definition (something like the above code.) Is this possible?

Do you really want TolFun = 1000? Are you sure?

I am not sure that I understand what you are trying to do, but maybe you have an extra parameter (i in your pseudocode) that you want to pass. If so, then I suggest that you create i as a parameter that you pass using a nested function call, as described here or here.
