How should I make A and b matrix in fmincon function?

Hello!

I have problem with minimization of my function. I would like to use fmincon function. To use it I need to make two matrix: A(coefficients befor variables in equetion) and b(free coefficient). It's my equetion: z=a+b*x1+c*x2+d*x3+e*x1x2+f*x1x3+g*x2x3+h*x1.^2+x2.^2+x3.^2 Can someone tell me how should I make these two matrix?

I'll really appreciate your help!

fmincon is for minimization of a function under linear constraints A*X<=b. As you gave no information about your constraints, no statement about A and b can be made. Do you have any constrains? If not, then you can use fminunc, for unconstrained optimization, or if you want to use fmincon, just use A=[]; and b=[];

I didn't thought that [] can be empty.It work. Thank you very much!

Perhaps the documentation can answer your questions. Here is the documentation on writing objective functions, and here is the documentation on writing constraints.
