MIN

---

Purpose

Minimum value of an arbitrary number of items

Synopsis

MIN(value1, value2, ...)

Argument

value1, ...

Each argument is one of the following: a constant; a variable; a formula evaluating to a single value; or an XV

Example

Given the following matrix items:

Column: A
Column: B
XV    : XVB: = = = B ^ 2
             = = = A * B

then the following are all valid uses of the function:

MIN(A,99)
MIN(A,B,99)
MIN(A,B^2)
MIN(SQRT(A),B)
MIN(XVB)

Further information

MIN is not always differentiable and so alternative modeling approaches should be used where possible.

If an XV is used as an argument to the function, then all members of the XV will be included.
