fmincon with function file

Hi, I've written a function file that accepts values of variables x and y and parameter p. It outputs a scalar variable called sick.

I would like to minimize the value of sick by optimizing over x and y, each of which is bounded between 0 and 1.

It seems to me that fmincon would be appropriate funtion to do this. Could someome help me with the syntax that allows me to pass the function to the optimizer as well as the lower and upper bounds? I'd really appreciate it!

change your function, that it accepts x and p as input. use:

x = x(1);
y = x(2);

for passing p to the function read here:
