[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34655] max(z, 0) where z is a complex vector is incorrect

[Rik]

Update of bug #34655 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #3:

The documentation string for max () explains what is being calculated.  Try
'help max'.  Quoting from the documentation "For complex arguments, the
magnitude of the elements are used for comparison."

In this case, the magnitude, i.e., length in the plane are all greater than
zero and so each value, including complex numbers with negative real parts,
are returned.  

Matlab behaves the same way
(http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/max.html).  I think you need to
modify the script in question to have it do what you want.
