what about:

FUNCTION finddip, array, min, range

; find the derivative
deriv = array - SHIFT(array, -1)

; reduce the derivative to negative and positive
pos = deriv gt 0
neg = deriv lt 0

; create convolution kernels for the elements before and after
beforekern = [replicate(1,range),intarr(range-1)]
afterkern = [intarr(range+1),replicate(1,range)]

; find places where the leading derivatives are non-positive
; and the trailing derivatives are non-negative
dip = logical_and(convol(pos, beforekern) eq 0, convol(neg, afterkern)
eq 0)

; find where the value exceeds the threshold
thresh = array gt min

; put it all together
localmin = logical_and(dip, thresh)

return, localmin

end

does what you want, it might be a little heavy on the memory but it
doesn't use any loops.
