I can't special-case anything without using a conditionally-executing subsystem (I don't want to go there... if you care, see http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/simulink/slref/if.html) or a MATLAB function evaluation (slow). It's not just a matter of simply doing an "if" statement. I can use min() and max() because they are predefined functions with no branches (or rather, the branches are taken care of inside the blocks).

Yes, a and b are both within the range [0,1] inclusive.
