Re: passing parameters to fzero, fsolve?

Octave's fsolve, fzero and fminunc do not support passing additional 
arguments this way, and I think it is considered deprecated even by 
MathWorks. As of now, I have no intentions to add the support. The 
"modern" way is to construct a function handle: 

fzero (@(x) foo (x, p), [-5, 5], options) 

function handles are more general and powerful tool to accomplish the 
goal, and they require no special code support in each function you 
need. another possibility is to use global shared variables.

Hello, 
I've just tried using fsolve with the above syntax. In my case this looks
like:

param = [vector of parameters, all defined];
guess = [5; 5];
k = fsolve(@(k) dcap(k, param), guess)

This does return a vector of k, but also an endless flood of warnings with
the following text:
 warning: matrix singular to machine precision, rcond = 0
 warning: attempting to find minimum norm solution
 warning: dgelsd: rank deficient 2x2 matrix, rank = 1

This repeats at least 10 times, probably because of iterations. If I add an
empty options matrix at the end of the syntax for fsolve, then I don't get
this flood, but the Invalid call to optimget error.

Do you have an idea what the cause could be?
