Min[{{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}}]

min(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i)

Min[{{a, {b, j}, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, {i, k}}}]

min(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k)

Min will flatten its argument.

Attributes[Min]

{Flat,NumericFunction,OneIdentity,Orderless,Protected,ReadProtected}

Hi,

can you explain what the minimum of a set of
vectors with dimension 248 is ?

Or do you mean Min[Flatten[data]] ?
