# tf.matrix_band_part(input, num_lower, num_upper, name=None)

### tf.matrix_band_part(input, num_lower, num_upper, name=None)

See the guide: Math > Matrix Math Functions

Copy a tensor setting everything outside a central band in each innermost matrix

to zero.

The band part is computed as follows: Assume input has k dimensions [I, J, K, ..., M, N], then the output is a tensor with the same shape where

band[i, j, k, ..., m, n] = in_band(m, n) * input[i, j, k, ..., m, n].

The indicator function

in_band(m, n) = (num_lower < 0 || (m-n) <= num_lower)) && (num_upper < 0 || (n-m) <= num_upper).

For example:

# if 'input' is [[ 0,  1,  2, 3]
[-1,  0,  1, 2]
[-2, -1,  0, 1]
[-3, -2, -1, 0]],

tf.matrix_band_part(input, 1, -1) ==> [[ 0,  1,  2, 3]
[-1,  0,  1, 2]
[ 0, -1,  0, 1]
[ 0,  0, -1, 0]],

tf.matrix_band_part(input, 2, 1) ==> [[ 0,  1,  0, 0]
[-1,  0,  1, 0]
[-2, -1,  0, 1]
[ 0, -2, -1, 0]]


Useful special cases:

 tf.matrix_band_part(input, 0, -1) ==> Upper triangular part.
tf.matrix_band_part(input, -1, 0) ==> Lower triangular part.
tf.matrix_band_part(input, 0, 0) ==> Diagonal.


#### Args:

• input: A Tensor. Rank k tensor.
• num_lower: A Tensor of type int64. 0-D tensor. Number of subdiagonals to keep. If negative, keep entire lower triangle.
• num_upper: A Tensor of type int64. 0-D tensor. Number of superdiagonals to keep. If negative, keep entire upper triangle.
• name: A name for the operation (optional).

#### Returns:

A Tensor. Has the same type as input. Rank k tensor of the same shape as input. The extracted banded tensor.
