Finding a maximum using gamultobj tool

Hi, i've written the following script and I'm looking to maximise y(2) using the gamultobj tool. However I can only seem to find the minimum value. How can I find the maximum? (I'm using bounds [ 0 4 0 4 0 4] lower and [20 8 20 8 20 8] upper)
function [y] = totalpowertest(x)
% beta1 x(1) beta3 x(5)
% lamda1 x(2) lamda3 x(6)
% beta2 x(3)
% lamda2 x(4)
rho = 1.225; % density of air kg/m^3
R = 89.15; % radius of turbine m
D = 178.3; % diameter of turbine m
k = 0.04;
xd = 178.3*5; %example value for distance between turbines
u1 = 15; % example value
c1 = 0.5176;
c2 = 116;
c3 = 0.4;
c4 = 5;

c6 = 0.0068;

z1 = 1/(x(2) + 0.08*x(1)) - 0.035/((x(1).^3) +1);
lamdai1 =1/z1;
%equation 2 cp1
cp1 = c1*((c2/lamdai1)-c3*x(1)-c4)*exp(-c5/lamdai1)+c6*x(2);
%equation 3 u4 (z3)
Z3 = roots([ 1/(2*u1^3), 1/(2*u1^2), -1/(2*u1), cp1 - 1/2]);

u4 = z3;

a2(a2>10000000)=10000000;
pout2 = a2;
% equation 6 pout1+pout2
y(1) = pout1 + pout2;
%u1_3 = u4_2; % downstream wind of first turbine to calculate power of second turbine

Hi,
all optimizers in Matlab try ti find minimum of functions. If you want to maximize you simply minimize the negative function.
max (f) --> min (-f)

mmh, one way would be an adapted copy of your function eith the desired outputs. once you have the result you could call this second function with the optimized vector of variables and get the result this way. for a more clever solution i qould have to think a bit longer. but im a bit in hurry currently.
if this answer was useful please accept it.
