   .. rubric:: Description
      :class: sectiontitle


   The minmag(a, b) function returns a vector with element values equal
   to the element with the smaller magnitude from each pair of
   corresponding elements of the two vectors ``a`` and ``b``:


   - If \|\ ``a``\ \| < \|\ ``b``\ \| minmag(a, b) returns ``a``,
      otherwise minmag(a, b) returns ``b``.


   - If \|\ ``b``\ \| < \|\ ``a``\ \| minmag(a, b) returns ``b``,
      otherwise minmag(a, b) returns ``a``.


   - Otherwise minmag behaves like fmin.
