I hope this reaches everyone well.
I have been attempting to minimize a complex function, deependent on a 6x7 inital guess matrix. I have built code that will output a weighted least squares difference between the expiremental and predicted data. Is there a way to use fmincon, fminsearch, etc... to minimize this value formed via the cost function?
To sumarize, I have a model that I transformed into a function with its only input being that 6x7 inital guess matrix, which outputs a value that exhibits the difference between the numerical simulated and expiremental. I wish to minimize this value, using fmincon, or any other solver to form guesses input into this function.
Thank you for your time!
Kevin

Yes to all! The absolute difference between, TsWuSph(x0) - cfinal(3,3), is what I wish to minimize.
Since cfinal(3,3) is a scalar value, that would be equivalent to solving for multiple unknowns x0 given a single equation. It is a considerably under-determined problem.
