To know how to applicate the objective function for in a better way,
I want to find the difference between function and objective function, and what is the problems need to use the objective function ?

Nothing. An objective function is just a function being used in a particular way.

No difference - "objective function" is just the terminus technicus for the function you want to maximize or mimimize in optimization problems.

"But in objective function the function should accept a vector, whose length is the number of independent variables, and return a scalar,and other conditions if specify the type optimization problem"
Functions can have many different kinds of inputs and outputs. Those are the requirements for a function if you want to use it as the objective function for some optimization routine.

An objective function ia still JUST A FUNCTION. That it is called an objective function is just a name. It is the function that an optimizer like fminunc will try to minimize, thus it provides the objective for the optimizer.
Shakespeare said it this way:
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet
