Maybe have a look at the Matlab functions described by Kelley:
@Book{kelley-1999,
author = {C. T. Kelley},
title = {Iterative methods for optimization},
publisher = {{SIAM}},
year = 1999
}
I believe he has made a number of functions available so do a web search.
Alternatively, if your constraints are linear and if your objective function
is well-defined outside the feasible region, incorporated the constraints
directly into a new objective function as part of a penalty function and use
a non-constrainted optimization method.
cheers,
