Constrained Integer Genetic Algorithm

Hello,

I am using 2012b.

Need help on solving a problem with the GA toolbox (have a variant soln that works but am not sure of the soln).

I have a fitness function say 'piqe' that I am looking for the global minimum. The inputs to this function are (x1 ... xn). These inputs variables can only take integer values 1:5 (bounds).

The integer variables serve as indexes (1 is leftmost, 5 rightmost) to a matrix function say

P = [30 20 10 5 0; 27 17 7 2 0; 20 14 4 0 0; 14 12 7 4 0; ..................];

I need to constrain the inputs to 'piqe' so that P(1,x1) + P(2,x2) + ...... + P(n,xn)<Constant.

I am having some problem on implementing the last part (relational constraint) into the toolbox. thanks

Here is what I have for now (courtesy Alan Weiss), doesn't work yet

    function [c,ceq] = pconstraint(x,P)
     ceq = [];
     c = -Constant; % put in the value of Constant here
     for ii = 1:numel(x)
        c = c + P(ii,x(ii));
     end

lb=[1 1 1 1 1];
ub=[5 5 5 5 5];

[x,fval,exitFlag,output,population,scores] = ga(@piqe,5,[],[],[],[],lb,ub,@(x)pconstraint(x,P),[1 2 3 4 5],[]);

I run into several errors regarding the ineq constraint, the integer constraint and the no of inputs. Any leads.

Thanks

What errors do you run into?
