Minimum and Maximum after maximum value

I need to find the minimum value after the max has occurred. For example, in [1 5 7 3 2 6], the max is 7, and I would want to find 2.

Answer 1

The first element of v which is a maximum is taken.

If the last element of v is the maximum, m will be empty.

v = [1 5 7 3 2 6];
[~,idx] = max(v);
m = min(v(idx(1)+1:end))
