minima
Rock-bottom values plural
Minima is the plural of minimum—the lowest points or smallest values in a set.
In mathematics, minima are points where a function reaches its lowest value, either locally or globally: The graph shows two local minima.
The word appears in technical and scientific contexts where multiple low points must be distinguished.
