Optimization using Pattern Search - A MATLAB tutorial for beginners

In this tutorial, I show implementation of an optimization problem and solving it using Pattern Search in MATLAB. The given objective function is a simple function that helps a beginner user to understand the basic concept of optimization in MATLAB easier. The given objective function or fitness function has two input variable and one output. In the second part of the tutorial I show how to write a prameterized form of the objective function. I write a simple script to model the problem and solving the optimization problem using the 'patternsearch' function from MATLAB.
