For the record, this website is helpful

http://salilab.org/imp/1.0/doc/html/classIMP_1_1algebra_1_1MultiArray.html

In short, std::min_element() is not going to work with
boost::multi_array. One has to write a wrapper function around the
boost::multi_array::data() function as is done in the above-mentioned
web site. Check the source:
