y = min(X)
[y,i] = min(X)
C = min(A,B)
min(X)
, where X
is a vector, is the smallest element in X
. For matrices, min(X)
is a row vector containing the minimum element from each column and min(min(X))
is the smallest element in the entire matrix.
[y,i]
= min(X)
stores the indices of the minimum values in vector i
. If there are several identical minimum values, the index of the first one found is returned.
C = min(A,B)
returns a matrix the same size as A
and B
with the smallest elements taken from A
or B
.
For complex input X
, min
returns the complex number with the smallest modulus, computed with min(abs(X))
.
For matrices, if a column of X
contains a NaN
, the element of the answer corresponding to that column will be NaN
.
For vectors, if any element of X
is NaN
, the answer will be NaN
.
A = magic(3)
ThenA =
8 1 6
3 5 7
4 9 2
min(A)
is the vector
3 1 2
and min(min(A))
is the scalar
1
Furthermore, [m,i] = min(A)
produces
m =
3 1 2
i =
2 1 3
