Taking data from matrix and using it in a function

Let's denote . I would like to find the maximum value of the function z, if I substitute with -1 or 1. I created a matrix of only -1 and 1 using de2bi function (I got 0's and 1's but substituted 0's with -1's). How can I "connect" the matrix with my function, so that I'll check all possible combinations and get the maximum value?

As far as I understand, you want to change E1, E2, E3 and E4 respectively with combinations of -1 and 1. So the following code does that:
syms z(x,y) E1 E2 E3 E4
z(x,y)=(((sin(x).*(1+E1))./(3))+(1+E2))./(log10(y+E3)-E4);
A=perms([-1 1 -1 1]);
for i=1:size(A,1)
Z(x,y)=subs(z,{E1,E2,E3,E4},{A(i,1),A(i,2),A(i,3),A(i,4)})
end
After this point, you can proceed. If you have further question, we can discuss from here. Hope this gives the idea.

I got a function calculating maximum :
x = linspace(1,10,10e3);
y=x;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
z=(((sin(x).*(1+E1))./(3))+(1+E2))./(log10(y+E3)-E4);
Z_max = max(max(z(X,Y)))
fsurf(z,[1,10,1,10])
How to implement it into your code? Every time I try I get this error :
Error using sym/subsasgn (line 959)
Invalid indexing or function definition. Indexing must follow MATLAB indexing. Function arguments must be symbolic variables, and
function body must be sym expression.
Try the following code. Note that I had to set x as
x = linspace(1,10,100);
to reduce the calculation time. The max values are stored in
Z_max
syms z(x,y) E1 E2 E3 E4
z(x,y)=(((sin(x).*(1+E1))./(3))+(1+E2))./(log10(y+E3)-E4);
A=perms([-1 1 -1 1]);
c = linspace(1,10,100);
d=c;
[C,D] = meshgrid(c,d);
for i=1:length(A)
Z(x,y)=subs(z,{E1,E2,E3,E4},{A(i,1),A(i,2),A(i,3),A(i,4)});
Z_max(i) = max(max(double(vpa(Z(C,D),2))));
figure(i);
fsurf(Z,[1,10,1,10])
end
The code takes some time to be calculated.
Is there a more efficient way, because for this code it'll take lifetime to compile.
syms z(x,y) E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 E8 E9
z(x,y) = E7+E8-E9-E3.*((y-1.0)./(y-log(y))+(y.*sin((y.*pi)./1.8e+2))./(cos((y.*pi)./1.8e+2)+x.^2.*3.0))+(E6.*log(y))./(y-log(y))+(E4.*cos((y.*pi)./1.8e+2))./(cos((y.*pi)./1.8e+2)+x.^2.*3.0)+(E5.*cos((y.*pi)./1.8e+2))./(cos((y.*pi)./1.8e+2)+x.^2.*3.0)+(E1.*x.^2.*6.0)./(cos((y.*pi)./1.8e+2)+x.^2.*3.0)+(E2.*x.^2.*3.0)./(cos((y.*pi)./1.8e+2)+x.^2.*3.0)
;
A=perms([-1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 1]);
c = linspace(1,10,100);
d=c;
[C,D] = meshgrid(c,d);
for i=1:length(A)
Z(x,y)=subs(z,{E1,E2,E3,E4,E5,E6,E7,E8,E9},{A(i,1),A(i,2),A(i,3),A(i,4),A(i,5),A(i,6),A(i,7),A(i,8),A(i,9)});
Z_max(i) = max(max(double(vpa(Z(C,D),2))));
end
