min(array [, arg] [, /keepdims])
Returns one or more minimum values from the numerical
array. For real data types, the minimum is the value
closest to minus infinity. For complex data types, the minimum is the
value with a magnitude closest to zero. Generally, arg
indicates which dimensions are included in searching for a minimum.
There must not be any duplicates in the elements of arg.
For example, min(x, 0) returns the minimum value over all values
of the first dimension, and min(x, [0,1]) returns the minimum
over all values of the first two dimensions.
By default, the result has a number of dimensions equal to the number of
dimensions in array minus the number of elements of arg.
If /keepdims is specified, then the dimensions indicated by
arg are not omitted but set to 1.
If arg is a numerical array with the same number of
elements as array, then its elements indicate the class
each corresponding element of array belongs to and the
minimum value in each class is returned, with the minimum of class 0 or
the most negative class in the first element of the result.
The last found maximum value is stored in !lastmax and its index
in !lastmaxloc, and the corresponding numbers for the minima in
!lastmin and !lastminloc. For complex arrays, the values
stored in !lastmax and !lastmin are the magnitudes
of the corresponding extreme values.
e.g. if x = [[[1,7]],[[3,5]]] then min(x) = 7 min(x,0) =
[7,5] min(x,1) = [3,7].
