When I use fmincon, the optimised result does not satisfy my non liner constraints

The above is my matlab code, I input the nonlear constraints, but the results give to me is obviously not satisfy the constraints (you can see that checkconstraits is positive), my initial point is within the range.
Can anyone help me? Many thanks.

The solver converged to an infeasible point (see above). Your observation is the same as the exitflag from "fmincon" indicates.

You would do better to use the default 'interior-point' algorithm, which arrives at a feasible solution.
fun = @(x)4*x(1)+x(2);
x0=[0.4,0.28];
lb = [0.01,0.01];
ub = [5,0.8];
A = [];
b = [];
Aeq = [];
beq = [];
% options = optimoptions('fmincon','Algorithm','sqp');
c = @(x)(4+4*x(1)+9*x(1)^2)*(1+x(1))^2-(2*x(1)^3*x(2)+2+3*x(1)+3*x(1)^2)^2+0.001;
nonlcon = @(x)deal(c(x),[]);
[x,fval,exitflag,output] = fmincon(fun,x0,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,nonlcon)

Since it is a 2D problem, it practically begs you to pre-sweep for a good initial guess:
fun = @(x)4*x(1)+x(2);
lb = [0.01,0.01];
ub = [5,0.8];
A = [];
b = [];
Aeq = [];
beq = [];
c = @(x)(4+4*x(1)+9*x(1)^2)*(1+x(1))^2-(2*x(1)^3*x(2)+2+3*x(1)+3*x(1)^2)^2+0.001;
nonlcon = @(x)deal(c(x),[]);
[x0,fval0]=sweep(fun,c,lb,ub)
options = optimoptions('fmincon','Algorithm','sqp');
[x,fval,exitflag,output] = fmincon(fun,x0,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,nonlcon,options);
x,fval
function [x0,fval]=sweep(fun,c,lb,ub)
F=@(x1,x2) fun([x1,x2])+eps./(c([x1,x2])<=0);
[X1,X2]=ndgrid(linspace(lb(1),ub(1),30), linspace(lb(2),ub(2),30));
v=arrayfun(F,X1,X2);
[fval,i]=min(v(:));
if ~isfinite(fval)
disp 'No feasible point found'; x0=[];
else
x0=[X1(i),X2(i)];
end
end
