Minimize a function with 2 variables and 2 inequality constraints.

Hello community,

i have a function with 2 variables to minimize.

f(x,y)= 0.5*(a*x+b*y)+0.5*((x+y)-P)) ^2

0.2 <=x<= 0.6

0<=y<= 0.2

i have to find the values of x, and y

thank you for helping me.

fmincon appears to be the right choice for this. Note that you in fact have 4 constraints. You find examples how to write the code for this under the provided link.
