dpnp.fmin

dpnp.fmin(x1, x2, out=None, where=True, order='K', dtype=None, subok=True, **kwargs)

Compares two input arrays x1 and x2 and returns a new array containing the element-wise minima.

If one of the elements being compared is a NaN, then the non-NaN element is returned. If both elements are NaNs then the first is returned. The latter distinction is important for complex NaNs, which are defined as at least one of the real or imaginary parts being a NaN. The net effect is that NaNs are ignored when possible.

For full documentation refer to numpy.fmin.

Parameters:

  • x1 ({dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray, scalar}) -- First input array, expected to have numeric data type. Both inputs x1 and x2 can not be scalars at the same time.

  • x2 ({dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray, scalar}) -- Second input array, also expected to have numeric data type. Both inputs x1 and x2 can not be scalars at the same time.

  • out ({None, dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray}, optional) -- Output array to populate. Array must have the correct shape and the expected data type. Default: None.

  • order ({"C", "F", "A", "K"}, optional) -- Memory layout of the newly output array, if parameter out is None. Default: "K".

Returns:

out -- An array containing the element-wise minima. The data type of the returned array is determined by the Type Promotion Rules.

Return type:

dpnp.ndarray

Limitations

Parameters where and subok are supported with their default values. Keyword argument kwargs is currently unsupported. Otherwise NotImplementedError exception will be raised.

Notes

fmin(x1, x2) is equivalent to dpnp.where(x1 <= x2, x1, x2) when neither x1 nor x2 are NaNs, but it is faster and does proper broadcasting.

Examples

>>> import dpnp as np
>>> x1 = np.array([2, 3, 4])
>>> x2 = np.array([1, 5, 2])
>>> np.fmin(x1, x2)
array([1, 3, 2])

>>> x1 = np.eye(2)
>>> x2 = np.array([0.5, 2])
>>> np.fmin(x1, x2)
array([[0.5, 0. ],
       [0. , 1. ]])

>>> x1 = np.array([np.nan, 0, np.nan])
>>> x2 = np.array([0, np.nan, np.nan])
>>> np.fmin(x1, x2)
array([ 0.,  0., nan])
