def matmul(x, y, transpose_x=False, transpose_y=False, alpha=1.0, name=None):
    """
    Applies matrix multiplication to two tensors.

    Currently, the input tensors' rank can be any, but when the rank of any
    inputs is bigger than 3, this two inputs' rank should be equal.

    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 rank-1 of shape :math:`[D]`, then for
      :math:`x` it is treated as :math:`[1, D]` in nontransposed form and as
      :math:`[D, 1]` in transposed form, whereas for :math:`y` it is the
      opposite: It is treated as :math:`[D, 1]` in nontransposed form and as
      :math:`[1, D]` in transposed form.

    - After transpose, the two tensors are 2-D or n-D and matrix multiplication
      performs in the following way.

      - If both are 2-D, they are multiplied like conventional matrices.
      - If either is n-D, it is treated as a stack of matrices residing in the
        last two dimensions and a batched matrix multiply supporting broadcast
        applies on the two tensors.

    Also note that if the raw tensor :math:`x` or :math:`y` is rank-1 and
    nontransposed, the prepended or appended dimension :math:`1` will be
    removed after matrix multiplication.

    Args:
        x (Variable): The input variable which is a Tensor or LoDTensor.
        y (Variable): The input variable which is a Tensor or LoDTensor.
        transpose_x (bool): Whether to transpose :math:`x` before multiplication.
        transpose_y (bool): Whether to transpose :math:`y` before multiplication.
        alpha (float): The scale of output. Default 1.0.
        name(str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
            will be named automatically.

    Returns:
        Variable: The product Tensor (or LoDTensor) variable.

    Examples:
        .. code-block:: python

            # x: [B, ..., M, K], y: [B, ..., K, N]

    """
    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.

    Args:
        input (Variable): 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`, `1`, `2`,
            and any positive real number yielding the corresponding p-norm.
        axis (int|list, optional): The axis on which to apply norm operation. If axis is int
            or list with only one element, the vector norm is computed over the axis.
            If axis is a list with two elements, the matrix norm is computed over the axis.
            If `axis < 0`, the dimension to norm operation is rank(input) + axis.
        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.
        out (Variable, optional): The output tensor, default value is None. It's data type

    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.

    Where, z = x - y,

    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 (Variable): 1-D to 6-D Tensor, its data type is float32 or float64.
        y (Variable): 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:
        Variable: Tensor that is the p-norm of (x - y).
