min - minimum
For A , a real vector or matrix, min(A) is the smallest element A . [m,k]=min(A) gives in addition the index of the minimum. A second argument of type string 'r' or 'c' can be used : 'r' is used to get a row vector m such that m(j) contains the minimum of the j th column of A ( A(:,j) ), k(j) gives the row indice which contain the minimum for column j . 'c' is used for the dual operation on the rows of A .
m=min(A1,A2,...,An) , where all the Aj are matrices of the same sizes,returns a vector or a matrix m of size size(m)=size(A1) such that m(i)= min( Aj(i)), j=1,...,n . [m,k]=min(A1,A2,...,An) gives in addition the vector or matrix k . for a fixed i , k(i) is the number of the first Aj(i) achieving the minimum.
[m,k]=min(list(A1,...,An)) is an equivalent syntax of [m,k]=min(A1,A2,...,An)
[m,n]=min([1,3,1]) [m,n]=min([3,1,1],[1,3,1],[1,1,3]) [m,n]=min(list([3,1,1],[1,3,1],[1,1,3])) [m,n]=min(list(1,3,1))
