min() cannot be differentiated, and most of the minimizers require (implicit) differentiation. So you need to take one of the following approaches:
  • use ga() from the Global Optimization Toolbox
  • use surrogate optimization
  • use patternsearch()
  • use fminmax() https://www.mathworks.com/help/optim/ug/fminimax.html
  • break the problem into pieces that do not individually use min(), use a normal optimizer such as fmincon() on the pieces, and then merge the pieces together
