Hi,

In the devel repository fminbnd seems to accept some options. Here the docstring
-- Function File: [X, FVAL, INFO, OUTPUT] = fminbnd (FUN, A, B,
          OPTIONS)
     Find a minimum point of a univariate function.  FUN should be a
     function handle or name.  A, B specify a starting interval.
     OPTIONS is a structure specifying additional options.  Currently,
     `fminbnd' recognizes these options: `"FunValCheck"', `"OutputFcn"',
     `"TolX"', `"MaxIter"', `"MaxFunEvals"'.  For description of these
     options, see *note optimset: doc-optimset.

     On exit, the function returns X, the approximate minimum point and
     FVAL, the function value thereof.  INFO is an exit flag that can
     have these values:

        * 1 The algorithm converged to a solution.

        * 0 Maximum number of iterations or function evaluations has
          been exhausted.

        * -1 The algorithm has been terminated from user output
          function.

     See also: optimset, fzero, fminunc


Is this what you improved?

If you think there is more. Just upload the file to the Feature
