[Wien] mini with constrains

Ok very good so I proceed like that.
The real question was what happens if I have for example two of such  
atoms?
Does mini search in a 4 dimensions space or in a 2 dimensions space?
Even though the result will always be the same the efficiency might be  
different.
Cheers,
Gilles
