Details:

Matlab supports additional arguments in fminsearch, fmnbnd, fminunc, etc. that
get passed to the function.

There is documentation here but not on the current Matlab website.

http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/doc/matlab/techdoc/ref/fminsearch.html

Example:

# Octave
fun=@(x,C)sin(C*x);
fminsearch(fun,0,[],2)
error: Invalid call to fminsearch.  Correct usage is:

 -- Function File: X = fminsearch (FUN, X0)
 -- Function File: X = fminsearch (FUN, X0, OPTIONS)
 -- Function File: [X, FVAL] = fminsearch (...)


#Matlab
fun=@(x,C)sin(C*x);
fminsearch(fun,0,[],2)
ans =
   -0.7854
