# VecPointwiseMin

Computes the componentwise minimum w_i = min(x_i, y_i).

### Synopsis

    PetscErrorCode PETSCVEC_DLLEXPORT VecPointwiseMin(Vec w,Vec x,Vec y)

Collective on Vec

### Input Parameters

x, y -the vectors

### Output Parameter

w -the result

Notes: any subset of the x, y, and w may be the same vector. For complex numbers compares only the real part
