    This op returns the lower triangular part of a matrix (2-D tensor) or batch
    of matrices :attr:`input`, the other elements of the result tensor are set 
    to 0. The lower triangular part of the matrix is defined as the elements 
    on and below the diagonal.

    Args:
        input (Variable): The input variable which is a Tensor.
            Support data types: ``float64``, ``float32``, ``int32``, ``int64``.
        diagonal (int, optional): The diagonal to consider, default value is 0.
            If :attr:`diagonal` = 0, all elements on and below the main diagonal are
            retained. A positive value includes just as many diagonals above the main
            diagonal, and similarly a negative value excludes just as many diagonals below
            the main diagonal. The main diagonal are the set of indices
            :math:`\{(i, i)\}` for :math:`i \in [0, \min\{d_{1}, d_{2}\} - 1]` where
            :math:`d_{1}, d_{2}` are the dimensions of the matrix.
        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:
        Variable: Tensor, results of lower triangular operation by the specified diagonal of input tensor,
