Is it possible to use the output from each iteration of an optimisation function as an input for the function being optimised?

I'm using fminunc and fminbnd to minimise an implict function in which I'm solving for the variable that must be minismed at each stage (using Newton-Raphson). Is it possible for fminunc or fminbnd to be set up such that they can use the last value of the object variable from the most recent iteration as an initial guess for the function that is being minimised?

No.
