Hi,

Would this notation be correct, as regards to the use of "min"?

[tex]X_i = \frac{A_i}{B_i}.min_i (\frac{A_i}{B_i})[/tex]

I'm trying to say that for individual [tex]i[/tex] the value of [tex]X[/tex] is equal to that individual's ratio [tex]\frac{A_i}{B_i}[/tex], relative to the smallest ratio of all members of the group.

Many thanks for your help

I don't know what the phrase "relative to the smallest ratio of all members of the group" means. Perhaps you should give a numerical example.
