Re: fmincon optimization issue

I do notice that the final value of my variables range from 1e-6 to 1e-1, so it's a huge range. I will try to scale them up, but not sure if there's anything I can do about the relative value, i.e., they span a range of difference in magnitude of 5.

Scaling up the variables does give me some better (more meaningful) result.

For some other reason, I need to adjust some other parameter of the optimization, then I keep getting result that seems pretty bad (in my opinion), which I assume is due to bad starting point, and I am trying to use John's rmsearch.m script.
