def matmul(x, y, transpose_x=False, transpose_y=False, name=None):
    """
    Applies matrix multiplication to two tensors. `matmul` follows
    the complete broadcast rules,
    and its behavior is consistent with `np.matmul`.

    Currently, the input tensors' number of dimensions can be any, `matmul` can be used to
    achieve the `dot`, `matmul` and `batchmatmul`.

    The actual behavior depends on the shapes of :math:`x`, :math:`y` and the
    flag values of :attr:`transpose_x`, :attr:`transpose_y`. Specifically:

    - If a transpose flag is specified, the last two dimensions of the tensor
      are transposed. If the tensor is ndim-1 of shape, the transpose is invalid. If the tensor
      is ndim-1 of shape :math:`[D]`, then for :math:`x` it is treated as :math:`[1, D]`, whereas
      for :math:`y` it is the opposite: It is treated as :math:`[D, 1]`.

    The multiplication behavior depends on the dimensions of `x` and `y`. Specifically:

    - If both tensors are 1-dimensional, the dot product result is obtained.

    - If both tensors are 2-dimensional, the matrix-matrix product is obtained.

    - If the `x` is 1-dimensional and the `y` is 2-dimensional,
      a `1` is prepended to its dimension in order to conduct the matrix multiply.
      After the matrix multiply, the prepended dimension is removed.

    - If the `x` is 2-dimensional and `y` is 1-dimensional,
      the matrix-vector product is obtained.

    - If both arguments are at least 1-dimensional and at least one argument
      is N-dimensional (where N > 2), then a batched matrix multiply is obtained.
      If the first argument is 1-dimensional, a 1 is prepended to its dimension
      in order to conduct the batched matrix multiply and removed after.
      If the second argument is 1-dimensional, a 1 is appended to its
      dimension for the purpose of the batched matrix multiple and removed after.
      The non-matrix (exclude the last two dimensions) dimensions are
      broadcasted according the broadcast rule.
      For example, if input is a (j, 1, n, m) tensor and the other is a (k, m, p) tensor,
      out will be a (j, k, n, p) tensor.

    Args:
        x (Tensor): The input tensor which is a Tensor.
        y (Tensor): The input tensor which is a Tensor.
        transpose_x (bool): Whether to transpose :math:`x` before multiplication.
        transpose_y (bool): Whether to transpose :math:`y` before multiplication.
        name(str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
            will be named automatically.

    Returns:
        Tensor: The output Tensor.

def norm(x, p='fro', axis=None, keepdim=False, name=None):
    """

    Returns the matrix norm (Frobenius) or vector norm (the 1-norm, the Euclidean
    or 2-norm, and in general the p-norm for p > 0) of a given tensor.

    .. note::
        This norm API is different from `numpy.linalg.norm`.
        This api supports high-order input tensors (rank >= 3), and certain axis need to be pointed out to calculate the norm.
        But `numpy.linalg.norm` only supports 1-D vector or 2-D matrix as input tensor.
        For p-order matrix norm, this api actually treats matrix as a flattened vector to calculate the vector norm, NOT REAL MATRIX NORM.

    Args:
        x (Tensor): The input tensor could be N-D tensor, and the input data
            type could be float32 or float64.
        p (float|string, optional): Order of the norm. Supported values are `fro`, `0`, `1`, `2`,
            `inf`, `-inf` and any positive real number yielding the corresponding p-norm. Not supported: ord < 0 and nuclear norm.
            Default value is `fro`.
        axis (int|list|tuple, optional): The axis on which to apply norm operation. If axis is int
            or list(int)/tuple(int)  with only one element, the vector norm is computed over the axis.
            If `axis < 0`, the dimension to norm operation is rank(input) + axis.
            If axis is a list(int)/tuple(int) with two elements, the matrix norm is computed over the axis.
            Defalut value is `None`.
        keepdim (bool, optional): Whether to reserve the reduced dimension in the
            output Tensor. The result tensor will have fewer dimension
            than the :attr:`input` unless :attr:`keepdim` is true, default
            value is False.
        name (str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no need for
            user to set this property. For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

    Returns:
        Tensor: results of norm operation on the specified axis of input tensor,
        it's data type is the same as input's Tensor.

def dist(x, y, p=2):
    r"""

    This OP returns the p-norm of (x - y). It is not a norm in a strict sense, only as a measure
    of distance. The shapes of x and y must be broadcastable. The definition is as follows, for
    details, please refer to the `numpy's broadcasting <https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/basics.broadcasting.html>`_:

    - Each input has at least one dimension.
    - Match the two input dimensions from back to front, the dimension sizes must either be equal, one of them is 1, or one of them does not exist.

    Where, z = x - y, the shapes of x and y are broadcastable, then the shape of z can be
    obtained as follows:

    1. If the number of dimensions of x and y are not equal, prepend 1 to the dimensions of the
    tensor with fewer dimensions.

    For example, The shape of x is [8, 1, 6, 1], the shape of y is [7, 1, 5], prepend 1 to the
    dimension of y.

    x (4-D Tensor):  8 x 1 x 6 x 1

    y (4-D Tensor):  1 x 7 x 1 x 5

    2. Determine the size of each dimension of the output z: choose the maximum value from the
    two input dimensions.

    z (4-D Tensor):  8 x 7 x 6 x 5

    If the number of dimensions of the two inputs are the same, the size of the output can be
    directly determined in step 2. When p takes different values, the norm formula is as follows:

    When p = 0, defining $0^0=0$, the zero-norm of z is simply the number of non-zero elements of z.

    .. math::

        ||z||_{0}=\lim_{p \\rightarrow 0}\sum_{i=1}^{m}|z_i|^{p}

    When p = inf, the inf-norm of z is the maximum element of z.

    .. math::

        ||z||_\infty=\max_i |z_i|

    When p = -inf, the negative-inf-norm of z is the minimum element of z.

    .. math::

        ||z||_{-\infty}=\min_i |z_i|

    Otherwise, the p-norm of z follows the formula,

    .. math::

        ||z||_{p}=(\sum_{i=1}^{m}|z_i|^p)^{\\frac{1}{p}}

    Args:
        x (Tensor): 1-D to 6-D Tensor, its data type is float32 or float64.
        y (Tensor): 1-D to 6-D Tensor, its data type is float32 or float64.
        p (float, optional): The norm to be computed, its data type is float32 or float64. Default: 2.

    Returns:
        Tensor: Tensor that is the p-norm of (x - y).

            singular value (or eigenvalues in absolute value), and `eps` is the epsilon value for the dtype of `x`, then `tol` is computed

    """
    Multi_dot is an operator that calculates multiple matrix multiplications.

    Supports inputs of float16(only GPU support), float32 and float64 dtypes. This function does not
    support batched inputs.

    The input tensor in [x] must be 2-D except for the first and last can be 1-D.
    If the first tensor is a 1-D vector of shape(n, ) it is treated as row vector
    of shape(1, n), similarly if the last tensor is a 1D vector of shape(n, ), it
    is treated as a column vector of shape(n, 1).

    If the first and last tensor are 2-D matrix, then the output is also 2-D matrix,
    otherwise the output is a 1-D vector.

    Multi_dot will select the lowest cost multiplication order for calculation. The
    cost of multiplying two matrices with shapes (a, b) and (b, c) is a * b * c.
    Given matrices A, B, C with shapes (20, 5), (5, 100), (100, 10) respectively,
    we can calculate the cost of different multiplication orders as follows:
    - Cost((AB)C) = 20x5x100 + 20x100x10 = 30000
    - Cost(A(BC)) = 5x100x10 + 20x5x10 = 6000

    In this case, multiplying B and C first, then multiply A, which is 5 times faster
    than sequential calculation.

    Args:
        x ([Tensor]): The input tensors which is a list Tensor.
        name(str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer

        name(str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is None).
            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

    Returns:
        Tensor: The solution of a square system of linear equations with a unique solution for input 'x' and 'y'.
        Its data type should be the same as that of `x`.

    Examples:
    .. code-block:: python

        # a square system of linear equations:
        # 2*X0 + X1 = 9
        # X0 + 2*X1 = 8
