fcn = @dejong5fcn;
nvars = 2;
lb = [-64 -64];
ub = [64 64];
[x,fval] = particleswarm(fcn,nvars,lb,ub)

Which version of matlab are you using? They are part of the "Global Optimization Toolbox", but were only added in 2014b.
Your code runs without errors for me.
You also need to actually have the toolbox installed and as part of your license. The ver command should list your available toolboxes.
Thank you for answering Iam using MATALB 2015b full with optimization toolbox

particleswarm() is part of the Global Optimization Toolbox, not part of the Optimization Toolbox.

Thank you for answering Yes i have global optimization toolbox.also It was working before less than one month but today when I check it it doesn't work I don't know why
What do you get for

it gives me
>> which -all particleswarm
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015b\toolbox\globaloptim\globaloptim\particleswarm.m % Has no license available
but it was working before so why there is no license available
thank you very much for your helping
Were you using a Trial version? If so it might have expired.
Were you using a Student Version license obtained through a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) ? If so then it might have expired.
Were you using a Student Version license under one of the Term options such as "9 months" or "1 year" ? If so then it might have expired.
