Frequently Asked Questions about ga()
Is the ga() function free to use in SimLab?
The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open ga() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.
Do I need to install MATLAB to use ga()?
No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The ga() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.
What does ga() do?
Genetic algorithm optimizer (alias for sl_genetic). It is a MATLAB®-compatible optimization function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: ga(f, nvars).
Can I run ga() in my browser?
Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls ga(), and run it. This function is marked server-only. It is not a local-only calculation, and the call fails closed when its server implementation is unavailable.
