You might want to think about the difference between a "minimum" and a "greatest lower bound". A minimum for a set of values (such as the values of a function) is a number that is in the set, and is less than or equal to any number in the set. A "lower bound" is a number, not necessarily in the set, that is lower than or equal to any number in the set. For example, for the set (0, 1), the set of all real numbers that are larger than 0 and less than 1, does not have a "minimum", since if "x" is any number in that set , x/2 is also in the set and is smaller. The greatest lower bound is 0. The set of "lower bounds" contains all negative numbers and 0, The largest of those is 0.
Every set of real numbers, having a lower bound, has a greatest lower bound but not necessarily a minimum. Of course, if a set has a minimum, then that minimum is also the greatest lower bound.
For a function having this graph, there is no "global minimum" but the greatest lower bound for the set of y values is -2.
