how to optimize the integral function?

function F =t(x)
syms e
k=1:511;
F=int((abs(sinc(x*(k+e)))).^2/(abs(sinc(x*e))).^2,e,0,1);
[x,resnorm]=lsqnonlin(@t,0,0,1);
i want to optimize the function 'F' and parameter is 'x' when i run the program error occurred:
Undefined function or method 'isfinite' for input arguments of type 'sym'.
Error in ==> snls at 45 if any(~isfinite(fval))
Error in ==> lsqncommon at 149 [xC,FVAL,LAMBDA,JACOB,EXITFLAG,OUTPUT,msgData]=...
Error in ==> lsqnonlin at 238 [xCurrent,Resnorm,FVAL,EXITFLAG,OUTPUT,LAMBDA,JACOB] = ...
Error in ==> l at 2 [x,resnorm]=lsqnonlin(@t,0,0,1)

You have several problems in your code.
  • Optimization Toolbox uses doubles, not symbolic variables.
  • Your function seems to be calling itself (lsqnonlin(@t... occurs inside the definition of t as far as I can see)
To convert from symbolic to numeric, use subs, or the much faster matlabFunction. See this example or this example.
Good luck,
