Ho w to find the first minimum element in a row

Here i have a 1X6 matrix

y =

682.8333  399.8160   34.2270   46.1800  107.7035   21.5367

what i wanna do is to find the FIRST minimum element

which means if i plot "y" i wanna find first minimum turning point

for this example it must be 34.2270

Thank you.

pks = findpeaks( -y );

will work if you have the Signal Processing Toolbox.

If you don't you can find peak finding algorithms on the File Exchange that will do a similar job.

Answer 2

y = [682.8333  399.8160   34.2270   46.1800  107.7035   21.5367];

out = y(find(diff(y)>0,1,'first'));

Wow thank u so very much...

It worked :)

[Maurício Girardi-Schappo]

This only works if it is a decreasing function for the first values of y...
