Confusion about the "blackbox" command

[yitian zhu]

Regarding the confusion about the "blackbox" command, is it similar to the "fcn2optimexpr" in MATLAB? Or is there a command in yamlip that works similarly to "fcn2optimexpr"?

thanks

Don't know as I don't know the purpose of fcnoptimexpt or the general logic in that whole framework

YALMIP is built from the core for structured optimization where every single part of an operator is known in detail, allowing YALMIP to exploit various properties and select solvers. In some cases you don't have such nice functions, and accept to solve it using a less structured way, and then you use blackbox (although most often use of blackbox means you are using the wrong tool)
