What does fminbnd() do?

Find a local minimizer of a scalar function f on the bounded interval [a, b] using Brent golden-section / parabolic interpolation. It is a MATLAB®-compatible optimization function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: x = fminbnd(f, a, b).

Can I run fminbnd() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls fminbnd(), and run it. Execution happens locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
