How to write the loss when it is the minimum of some function in Tensorflow

I know that some of the targets is to minimize the loss function, but what if the loss is also a function including minimum, how could I write the loss correctly? This may seems a little confusing, let me take an example.

The loss function is defined as follows: enter image description here

where f1, f2 is the feature map output of some network and b is a shift distance. The shift of a feature map is like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] shift one step left is [2, 3, 4, 5, 1].

The question is how could I write this loss function using tensorflow since b is not trainable and the trainable variable is the weight in network to generate the feature map. It seems possible in Torch since I could somehow make a for loop maybe. How could I achieve this in Tensorflow?

Tensor flow has a tf.minimum(x,y) which returns the minimum between x and y.

https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/minimum

You can trust that if there is a tensorflow operation for it than it automatically calculates the gradient, and therefore can be optimized.
