Maybe I misunderstand your functor, but I thought it should be
lt_functor<double, double, bool > myfunctor;
And its apply() method should be something like
bool apply(double e1, double e2) const { return e1 < e2 ? r1_ : r2_; }

This is ok if binary_vector_elementwise keeps a copy of the functor as
a member variable (which it should), instead of a reference to it. But
just to be on the safe side, I would instanciate a new functor for the
second call. In fact, to force this, I would argue that you don't need
the set() method in your functor, and r1 and r2 should be setup at
construction time:
lt_functor<double, double, bool > myfunctor(true, false);
v3 = binary_vector_elementwise( v1, v2, myfunctor );
lt_functor<double, double, bool > another_functor(false, true);
v4 = binary_vector_elementwise( v1, v2, another_functor);

Agreed.
