   .. rubric:: Description
      :class: sectiontitle


   The fmin(a, b) function returns a vector with element values equal to
   the smaller value from each pair of corresponding elements of the two
   vectors ``a`` and ``b``: if ``a`` > ``b``\ fmin(a, b) returns ``b``,
   otherwise fmin(a, b) returns ``a``.
