     -   an array having the same shape as `x` and filled with ones.
 
+(function-tril)=
+### tril(x, /, *, k=0)
+
+Returns the lower triangular part of a matrix (or a stack of matrices) `x`.
+
+```{note}
+The lower triangular part of the matrix is defined as the elements on and below the specified diagonal `k`.
+```
+
+#### Parameters
+
+-   **x**: _<array>_
+
+    -   input array having shape `(..., M, N)` and whose innermost two dimensions form `MxN` matrices.
+
+-   **k**: _int_
+
+    -   diagonal above which to zero elements. If `k = 0`, the diagonal is the main diagonal. If `k < 0`, the diagonal is below the main diagonal. If `k > 0`, the diagonal is above the main diagonal. Default: `0`.
+
+        ```{note}
+        The main diagonal is defined as the set of indices `{(i, i)}` for `i` on the interval `[0, min(M, N) - 1]`.
+        ```
+
+#### Returns
+
+-   **out**: _&lt;array&gt;_
+
+    -   an array containing the lower triangular part(s). The returned array must have the same shape and data type as `x`. All elements above the specified diagonal `k` must be zeroed. The returned array should be allocated on the same device as `x`.
+
+(function-triu)=
+### triu(x, /, *, k=0)
+
+Returns the upper triangular part of a matrix (or a stack of matrices) `x`.
+
+```{note}
+The upper triangular part of the matrix is defined as the elements on and above the specified diagonal `k`.
+```
+
+#### Parameters
+
+-   **x**: _&lt;array&gt;_
+
+    -   input array having shape `(..., M, N)` and whose innermost two dimensions form `MxN` matrices.
+
+-   **k**: _int_
+
+    -   diagonal below which to zero elements. If `k = 0`, the diagonal is the main diagonal. If `k < 0`, the diagonal is below the main diagonal. If `k > 0`, the diagonal is above the main diagonal. Default: `0`.
+
+        ```{note}
+        The main diagonal is defined as the set of indices `{(i, i)}` for `i` on the interval `[0, min(M, N) - 1]`.
+        ```
+
+#### Returns
+
+-   **out**: _&lt;array&gt;_
+
+    -   an array containing the upper triangular part(s). The returned array must have the same shape and data type as `x`. All elements below the specified diagonal `k` must be zeroed. The returned array should be allocated on the same device as `x`.
