Minimize between vector and a single value

[dsochor]

Is it possible to create a minimize function comparing each entry of a vector to a single number and then outputting a vector with each entry being the smaller of the two valves? The attempts in the attached worksheets (Prime 3.1 and Mathcad 15) only find the minimum between the entire vector and single value instead of comparing them line by line.

Thank you Richard! Can this es function be made into a function of c: es(c)?

[RichardJ]

Your function definition is fine. The solve block fails because there is no value of c that makes the sum equal to zero.
