    Applies matrix multiplication to two tensors. `matmul` follows
    the complete broadcast rules,
S
ShenLiang 已提交
32
    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`.
36 37 38 39 40

    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
41 42
      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
S
ShenLiang 已提交
43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
      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.

51 52
    - 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.
S
ShenLiang 已提交
53
      After the matrix multiply, the prepended dimension is removed.
54 55

    - If the `x` is 2-dimensional and `y` is 1-dimensional,
S
ShenLiang 已提交
56 57
      the matrix-vector product is obtained.

58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66
    - 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,
S
ShenLiang 已提交
67
      out will be a (j, k, n, p) tensor.

    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.

168 169 170 171 172 173
    .. 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.

    This OP returns the p-norm of (x - y). It is not a norm in a strict sense, only as a measure
453 454
    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,

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

    Computes the rank of a matrix.

    The rank of a matrix is the number of singular values that are greater than the specified tol threshold when hermitian=False, 
    or the number of eigenvalues in absolute value that are greater than the specified tol threshold when hermitian=True.

    Args:
        x (Tensor): The input tensor. 
            Its shape should be [..., m, n], where ... is zero or more batch dimensions. If x is a batch of matrices then the output 
            has the same batch dimensions. The data type of x should be float32 or float64. 
        tol (float,Tensor,optional): the tolerance value. Default: None. 
            If tol is not specified, and sigma is the largest singular value (or eigenvalue in absolute value), and eps is the 
            epsilon value for the dtype of x, then tol is computed with formula tol=sigma * max(m,n) * eps. Note that if x is 
            a batch of matrices, tol is computed this way for every batch.
        hermitian (bool,optional): indicates whether x is Hermitian. Default: False.
            When hermitian=True, x is assumed to be Hermitian, but x is not checked inside the function. Instead, We just use the 
            lower triangular of the matrix to compute.
        name (str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

def matrix_power(x, n, name=None):
    r"""
    Computes the n-th power of a square matrix or a batch of square matrices.

    Let :math:`X` be a sqaure matrix or a batch of square matrices, :math:`n` be
    an exponent, the equation should be:

    .. math::
        Out = X ^ {n}
    
    Specifically,

    - If `n > 0`, it returns the matrix or a batch of matrices raised to the power
    of `n`.
    
    - If `n = 0`, it returns the identity matrix or a batch of identity matrices.

    - If `n < 0`, it returns the inverse of each matrix (if invertible) raised to
    the power of `abs(n)`.

    Args:
        x (Tensor): A square matrix or a batch of square matrices to be raised
            to power `n`. Its shape should be `[*, M, M]`, where `*` is zero or
            more batch dimensions. Its data type should be float32 or float64.
        n (int): The exponent. It can be any positive, negative integer or zero.
        name (str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is None). 
            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.
