how to have function with scalar value

Greetings people! I have a code and 2 objective functions when I want to use fmincon it says function has to be scalar

here is my code:

function z = MyCost(x)
z1 = Obj1(x);
z2 = Obj2(x);
z = [z1;z2];
end

I know that my problem is because of above code z=[z1;z2] but I dont know how to have z which consist of z1 and z2 in a way to have scalar value of z

"but I dont know how to have z which consist of z1 and z2 in a way to have scalar value of z"

Only you can decide that, depending on how those functions are related to each other, e.g. their relative weighting or something similar.

Consider: what should happen to the output value z if z1 increases by 1 and z2 decreases by 1: should the output z increase or decrease or stay the same?

Some ideas: sum, weighed sum, subtraction, mean, weighted mean, RMS, etc.

[Ali Esmaeilpour]

consider weighted summation of those Obj1 and Obj2 and make a function named FWS and give it to fmincon.

"I have a code and 2 objective functions"

If you really do want to treat this as a multi-objective problem, you should probably use gamultiobj or paretosearch instead of fmincon.
