Optimization app has been removed in MATLAB Online?

I want to use "gatool", but it shows a message that "Optimization app has been removed". Please do the needful.

gatool was removed in R2015b (see this answer).
Your observation is not limited to MATLAB Online. In R2021a, the optimization app has been removed. See the release notes:
  • Under R2021a: The Optimization app (optimtool) has been removed. For a visual interface to solvers, use the Optimize Live Editor task.
  • Under R2020b: The Optimize Live Editor task replaces the Optimization app (optimtool) as a visual interface for creating and solving optimization problems. As noted since R2015b, the Optimization app will be removed in a future release.

i dont know what i am doing,what i am downloading? i downloaded before General optimization tool,i need for genetic algoritms.what is alternative for ga tool

@Adil, Have you tested if the ga() function is good enough?
x = ga(fun, nvars)
or
[x,fval,exitflag,output] = ga(fun, nvars, A, b, Aeq, beq, lb, ub, nonlcon, options)
See the documentation:
help ga
GA Constrained optimization using genetic algorithm. GA attempts to solve problems of the following forms: min F(X) subject to: A*X <= B, Aeq*X = Beq (linear constraints) X C(X) <= 0, Ceq(X) = 0 (nonlinear constraints) LB <= X <= UB X(i) integer, where i is in the index vector INTCON (integer constraints) Note: If INTCON is not empty, then no equality constraints are allowed. That is:- * Aeq and Beq must be empty * Ceq returned from NONLCON must be empty X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS) finds a local unconstrained minimum X to the FITNESSFCN using GA. NVARS is the dimension (number of design variables) of the FITNESSFCN. FITNESSFCN accepts a vector X of size 1-by-NVARS, and returns a scalar evaluated at X. X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS,A,b) finds a local minimum X to the function FITNESSFCN, subject to the linear inequalities A*X <= B. Linear constraints are not satisfied when the PopulationType option is set to 'bitString' or 'custom'. See the documentation for details. X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS,A,b,Aeq,beq) finds a local minimum X to the function FITNESSFCN, subject to the linear equalities Aeq*X = beq as well as A*X <= B. (Set A=[] and B=[] if no inequalities exist.) Linear constraints are not satisfied when the PopulationType option is set to 'bitString' or 'custom'. See the documentation for details. X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub) defines a set of lower and upper bounds on the design variables, X, so that a solution is found in the range lb <= X <= ub. Use empty matrices for lb and ub if no bounds exist. Set lb(i) = -Inf if X(i) is unbounded below; set ub(i) = Inf if X(i) is unbounded above. Linear constraints are not satisfied when the PopulationType option is set to 'bitString' or 'custom'. See the documentation for details. X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,NONLCON) subjects the minimization to the constraints defined in NONLCON. The function NONLCON accepts X and returns the vectors C and Ceq, representing the nonlinear inequalities and equalities respectively. GA minimizes FITNESSFCN such that C(X)<=0 and Ceq(X)=0. (Set lb=[] and/or ub=[] if no bounds exist.) Nonlinear constraints are not satisfied when the PopulationType option is set to 'bitString' or 'custom'. See the documentation for details. X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,NONLCON,options) minimizes with the default optimization parameters replaced by values in OPTIONS. OPTIONS can be created with the OPTIMOPTIONS function. See OPTIMOPTIONS for details. For a list of options accepted by GA refer to the documentation. X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS,A,b,[],[],lb,ub,NONLCON,INTCON) requires that the variables listed in INTCON take integer values. Note that GA does not solve problems with integer and equality constraints. Pass empty matrices for the Aeq and beq inputs if INTCON is not empty. X = GA(FITNESSFCN,NVARS,A,b,[],[],lb,ub,NONLCON,INTCON,options) minimizes with integer constraints and the default optimization parameters replaced by values in OPTIONS. OPTIONS can be created with the OPTIMOPTIONS function. See OPTIMOPTIONS for details. X = GA(PROBLEM) finds the minimum for PROBLEM. PROBLEM is a structure that has the following fields: fitnessfcn: <Fitness function> nvars: <Number of design variables> Aineq: <A matrix for inequality constraints> bineq: <b vector for inequality constraints> Aeq: <Aeq matrix for equality constraints> beq: <beq vector for equality constraints> lb: <Lower bound on X> ub: <Upper bound on X> nonlcon: <Nonlinear constraint function> intcon: <Index vector for integer variables> options: <Options created with optimoptions('ga',...)> rngstate: <State of the random number generator> [X,FVAL] = GA(FITNESSFCN, ...) returns FVAL, the value of the fitness function FITNESSFCN at the solution X. [X,FVAL,EXITFLAG] = GA(FITNESSFCN, ...) returns EXITFLAG which describes the exit condition of GA. Possible values of EXITFLAG and the corresponding exit conditions are 1 Average change in value of the fitness function over options.MaxStallGenerations generations less than options.FunctionTolerance and constraint violation less than options.ConstraintTolerance. 3 The value of the fitness function did not change in options.MaxStallGenerations generations and constraint violation less than options.ConstraintTolerance. 4 Magnitude of step smaller than machine precision and constraint violation less than options.ConstraintTolerance. This exit condition applies only to nonlinear constraints. 5 Fitness limit reached and constraint violation less than options.ConstraintTolerance. 0 Maximum number of generations exceeded. -1 Optimization terminated by the output or plot function. -2 No feasible point found. -4 Stall time limit exceeded. -5 Time limit exceeded. [X,FVAL,EXITFLAG,OUTPUT] = GA(FITNESSFCN, ...) returns a structure OUTPUT with the following information: rngstate: <State of the random number generator before GA started> generations: <Total generations, excluding HybridFcn iterations> funccount: <Total function evaluations> maxconstraint: <Maximum constraint violation>, if any message: <GA termination message> [X,FVAL,EXITFLAG,OUTPUT,POPULATION] = GA(FITNESSFCN, ...) returns the final POPULATION at termination. [X,FVAL,EXITFLAG,OUTPUT,POPULATION,SCORES] = GA(FITNESSFCN, ...) returns the SCORES of the final POPULATION. Example: Unconstrained minimization of Rastrigins function: function scores = myRastriginsFcn(pop) scores = 10.0 * size(pop,2) + sum(pop.^2 - 10.0*cos(2*pi .* pop),2); numberOfVariables = 2 x = ga(@myRastriginsFcn,numberOfVariables) Display plotting functions while GA minimizes options = optimoptions('ga','PlotFcn',... {@gaplotbestf,@gaplotbestindiv,@gaplotexpectation,@gaplotstopping}); [x,fval,exitflag,output] = ga(fitfcn,2,[],[],[],[],[],[],[],options) An example with inequality constraints and lower bounds A = [1 1; -1 2; 2 1]; b = [2; 2; 3]; lb = zeros(2,1); fitfcn = @(x)0.5*x(1)^2 + x(2)^2 -x(1)*x(2) -2*x(1) - 6.0*x(2); % Use mutation function which can handle constraints options = optimoptions('ga','MutationFcn',@mutationadaptfeasible); [x,fval,exitflag] = ga(fitfcn,2,A,b,[],[],lb,[],[],options); If FITNESSFCN or NONLCON are parameterized, you can use anonymous functions to capture the problem-dependent parameters. Suppose you want to minimize the fitness given in the function myfit, subject to the nonlinear constraint myconstr, where these two functions are parameterized by their second argument a1 and a2, respectively. Here myfit and myconstr are MATLAB file functions such as function f = myfit(x,a1) f = exp(x(1))*(4*x(1)^2 + 2*x(2)^2 + 4*x(1)*x(2) + 2*x(2) + a1); and function [c,ceq] = myconstr(x,a2) c = [1.5 + x(1)*x(2) - x(1) - x(2); -x(1)*x(2) - a2]; % No nonlinear equality constraints: ceq = []; To optimize for specific values of a1 and a2, first assign the values to these two parameters. Then create two one-argument anonymous functions that capture the values of a1 and a2, and call myfit and myconstr with two arguments. Finally, pass these anonymous functions to GA: a1 = 1; a2 = 10; % define parameters first % Mutation function for constrained minimization options = optimoptions('ga','MutationFcn',@mutationadaptfeasible); x = ga(@(x)myfit(x,a1),2,[],[],[],[],[],[],@(x)myconstr(x,a2),options) Example: Solving a mixed-integer optimization problem An example of optimizing a function where a subset of the variables are required to be integers: % Define the objective and call GA. Here variables x(2) and x(3) will % be integer. fun = @(x) (x(1) - 0.2)^2 + (x(2) - 1.7)^2 + (x(3) -5.1)^2; x = ga(fun,3,[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[2 3]) See also OPTIMOPTIONS, FITNESSFUNCTION, GAOUTPUTFCNTEMPLATE, PATTERNSEARCH, @.
