Hi all
In this problem, we minimize an objective function using fmincon.
In particular, I have a question about the constraint. If I want to state that:
x(1)>0, 0<=x(1)<=1
How do I use specify this in matlab's language?

These are simple bound constraints. Use the upper and lower bounds that fmincon offers. (READ THE HELP!)
Alternatively, you could just recognize that those constraints are simply
x(1) >= 0
x(1) <= 1
and supply them as linear inequality constraints.
