I'm not sure that your function works always, as the following example
shows:
In[1]:=
t={{0, 1, 1},{1, 1, 0}};
In[2]:=
f[0.01, t]
Out[2]=
{{1, 1}}
Since you have two consecutive elements satisfying the condition in the
first row, and two more in the second row, the answer here should be {{1,
1},{1, 1}}, doesn't it? I suggest you use a more general form of Partition,
namely Partition[Flatten[matrix], 2, 1] instead of
Partition[Flatten[matrix], 2] (see Help browser unde Partition). But then,
it is not clear to me whether you want to work on the original matrix or
not, for using Flatten actually destroys its structure. I.e., when you say
"selecting consecutive elements of a list that satisfy a particular
condition", bear in mind that the elements of your original list are
sublists, not numbers. So, if you mean that you want to use your selector on
each sublist, then you must keep the original structure untouched. Then I'd
suggest modifying your function f to look something like
In[3]:=
Clear[g];g[x_,matrix_]:=
Module[{t,selector},(*Flatten and group number in pairs*)t=
Partition[#, 2,1]&/@matrix;
(*Selector:returns true if all in list>x*)selector[xx_,list_]:=
Apply[And,Map[(#>xx)&,list]];
(*select*)Select[#,selector[x,#]&]&/@t]
which now, applied to the above t, gives the right answer (preserving the
structure of the original matrix):
In[4]:=
g[0.01,t]
Out[4]=
{{{1,1}},{{1,1}}}
Before atempting to look at your other questions, I think you should provide
a more precise definition of the problem.
