GA is not available in Optimtool

When I run the command optimtool ('ga')...I am getting the following error: Warning: GA is not available; starting OPTIMTOOL with FMINCON solver. Please tell me the solution for this problem

The genetic algorithm is part of the Global Optimization Toolbox, this warning leads me to believe you only have the Optimization Toolbox installed.

How to check if Global Optimization Toolbox is installed or not?

Hi, I have the same problem, optimtool('ga') with error Warning: GA is not available; starting OPTIMTOOL with FMINCON solver. But I have Global Optim. Toolbox installed. Doc ga and help ga found manuals and also edit ga found ga.m file. But I am unable to use ga funtion from command line i get: Undefined function 'ga' for input arguments of type 'function_handle'. I am using R2011b Campus license. Thank you.

Same problem here too, and I have just bought and installed the Global Optimization Toolkit.

[Walter Roberson]

which -all ga

see if it reports that the function exists but that there is no license. Use

version

to see what is installed.

Use

license

to check licenses.

Oh yes, you need to restart MATLAB once after installing the new toolbox.
