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.

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.

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.
