Is it possible to perform global optimization using interval analysis in the Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox?

I would like to perform global optimization using interval analysis. This technique is described in the book "Global Optimization Using Interval Analysis" by Eldon Hansen. For information about interval analysis, refer to the following link:

The ability to perform global optimization using interval analysis is not available in the Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox.

As a suggestion, the third-party software INTLAB in the following link may be useful. Since this is not a MathWorks product, we do not guarantee its validity or effectiveness.
