there is a function in the picture which I should optimize it. Dm and I are matrixes . I has an indirect role in cacules of this function. how can I do that in matlab

This looks like a binary programming problem. I don't know how the D_m depend on the I_{n,k}, but it looks like there is no big issue. Use intlinprog for the solution, or the problem-based approach.

If you are using max and it is a discrete programming problem then try all of the possible input combinations and pick the best results.
If trying all of the possible inputs is not feasible (for example too slow above 2^40 possibilities) then ga()
fmincon cannot be used for discrete variables. intlinprog cannot be used when max() appears in the formula or constraints.
Sometimes instead of using max it can be feasible to run several slightly different problems, each assuming that one of the possibilities is the max, and then to take the result in which the max was true.
