fmin#

ivy.fmin(x1, x2, /, *, out=None)[source]#

Compute the element-wise minimums of two arrays. Differs from ivy.minimum in the case where one of the elements is NaN. ivy.minimum returns the NaN element while ivy.fmin returns the non-NaN element.

Parameters:
  • x1 (Union[Array, NativeArray]) – First input array.

  • x2 (Union[Array, NativeArray]) – Second input array.

  • out (Optional[Union[Array, NativeArray]], default: None) – optional output array, for writing the result to.

Return type:

Union[Array, NativeArray]

Returns:

ret – Array with element-wise minimums.

Examples

>>> x1 = ivy.array([2, 3, 4])
>>> x2 = ivy.array([1, 5, 2])
>>> ivy.fmin(x1, x2)
ivy.array([1, 3, 2])
>>> x1 = ivy.array([ivy.nan, 0, ivy.nan])
>>> x2 = ivy.array([0, ivy.nan, ivy.nan])
>>> ivy.fmin(x1, x2)
ivy.array([ 0.,  0., nan])
Array.fmin(self, x2, /, *, out=None)[source]#

ivy.Array instance method variant of ivy.fmin. This method simply wraps the function, and so the docstring for ivy.fmin also applies to this method with minimal changes.

Parameters:
  • self (Array) – First input array.

  • x2 (Array) – Second input array

  • out (Optional[Array], default: None) – optional output array, for writing the result to.

Return type:

Array

Returns:

ret – Array with element-wise minimums.

Examples

>>> x1 = ivy.array([2, 3, 4])
>>> x2 = ivy.array([1, 5, 2])
>>> ivy.fmin(x1, x2)
ivy.array([1, 3, 2])
>>> x1 = ivy.array([ivy.nan, 0, ivy.nan])
>>> x2 = ivy.array([0, ivy.nan, ivy.nan])
>>> x1.fmin(x2)
ivy.array([ 0.,  0., nan])
Container.fmin(self, x2, /, *, out=None)[source]#

ivy.Container instance method variant of ivy.fmin. This method simply wraps the function, and so the docstring for ivy.fmin also applies to this method with minimal changes.

Parameters:
  • self (Container) – container with the first input arrays.

  • x2 (Container) – container with the second input arrays

  • out (Optional[Container], default: None) – optional output container, for writing the result to.

Return type:

Container

Returns:

ret – Container including arrays with element-wise minimums.

Examples

>>> x1 = ivy.Container(a=ivy.array([2, 3, 4]),                               b=ivy.array([ivy.nan, 0, ivy.nan]))
>>> x2 = ivy.Container(a=ivy.array([1, 5, 2]),                               b=ivy.array([0, ivy.nan, ivy.nan]))
>>> x1.fmin(x2)
{
    a: ivy.array([1, 3, 2]),
    b: ivy.array([0., 0., nan])
}
