    einsum_path(subscripts, *operands, optimize='greedy')

    Evaluates the lowest cost contraction order for an einsum expression by
    considering the creation of intermediate arrays.

    Parameters
    ----------
    subscripts : str
        Specifies the subscripts for summation.
    *operands : list of array_like
        These are the arrays for the operation.
    optimize : {bool, list, tuple, 'greedy', 'optimal'}
        Choose the type of path. If a tuple is provided, the second argument is
        assumed to be the maximum intermediate size created. If only a single
        argument is provided the largest input or output array size is used
        as a maximum intermediate size.

        * if a list is given that starts with ``einsum_path``, uses this as the
          contraction path
        * if False no optimization is taken
        * if True defaults to the 'greedy' algorithm
        * 'optimal' An algorithm that combinatorially explores all possible
          ways of contracting the listed tensors and choosest the least costly
          path. Scales exponentially with the number of terms in the
          contraction.
        * 'greedy' An algorithm that chooses the best pair contraction
          at each step. Effectively, this algorithm searches the largest inner,
          Hadamard, and then outer products at each step. Scales cubically with
          the number of terms in the contraction. Equivalent to the 'optimal'
          path for most contractions.

        Default is 'greedy'.

    Returns
    -------
    path : list of tuples
        A list representation of the einsum path.
    string_repr : str
        A printable representation of the einsum path.

    Notes
    -----
    The resulting path indicates which terms of the input contraction should be
    contracted first, the result of this contraction is then appended to the
    end of the contraction list. This list can then be iterated over until all
    intermediate contractions are complete.

    We can begin with a chain dot example. In this case, it is optimal to
    contract the ``b`` and ``c`` tensors first as represented by the first
    element of the path ``(1, 2)``. The resulting tensor is added to the end
    of the contraction and the remaining contraction ``(0, 1)`` is then
    completed.

    einsum(subscripts, *operands, out=None, dtype=None, order='K',

    Evaluates the Einstein summation convention on the operands.

    Using the Einstein summation convention, many common multi-dimensional,
    linear algebraic array operations can be represented in a simple fashion.
    In *implicit* mode `einsum` computes these values.

    In *explicit* mode, `einsum` provides further flexibility to compute
    other array operations that might not be considered classical Einstein
    summation operations, by disabling, or forcing summation over specified
    subscript labels.

    See the notes and examples for clarification.

    Parameters
    ----------
    subscripts : str
        Specifies the subscripts for summation as comma separated list of
        subscript labels. An implicit (classical Einstein summation)
        calculation is performed unless the explicit indicator '->' is
        included as well as subscript labels of the precise output form.
    operands : list of array_like
        These are the arrays for the operation.
    out : ndarray, optional
        If provided, the calculation is done into this array.
    dtype : {data-type, None}, optional
        If provided, forces the calculation to use the data type specified.
        Note that you may have to also give a more liberal `casting`
        parameter to allow the conversions. Default is None.
    order : {'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional
        Controls the memory layout of the output. 'C' means it should
        be C contiguous. 'F' means it should be Fortran contiguous,
        'A' means it should be 'F' if the inputs are all 'F', 'C' otherwise.
        'K' means it should be as close to the layout as the inputs as
        is possible, including arbitrarily permuted axes.
        Default is 'K'.
    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
        Controls what kind of data casting may occur.  Setting this to
        'unsafe' is not recommended, as it can adversely affect accumulations.

          * 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
          * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
          * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
          * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,
            like float64 to float32, are allowed.
          * 'unsafe' means any data conversions may be done.

        Default is 'safe'.
    optimize : {False, True, 'greedy', 'optimal'}, optional
        Controls if intermediate optimization should occur. No optimization
        will occur if False and True will default to the 'greedy' algorithm.
        Also accepts an explicit contraction list from the ``np.einsum_path``
        function. See ``np.einsum_path`` for more details. Defaults to False.

    Returns
    -------
    output : ndarray
        The calculation based on the Einstein summation convention.

    Notes
    -----
    .. versionadded:: 1.6.0

    The Einstein summation convention can be used to compute
    many multi-dimensional, linear algebraic array operations. `einsum`
    provides a succinct way of representing these.

    A non-exhaustive list of these operations,
    which can be computed by `einsum`, is shown below along with examples:

    * Return a diagonal, :py:func:`numpy.diag`.
    * Array axis summations, :py:func:`numpy.sum`.
    * Transpositions and permutations, :py:func:`numpy.transpose`.
    * Matrix multiplication and dot product, :py:func:`numpy.matmul` :py:func:`numpy.dot`.

    The subscripts string is a comma-separated list of subscript labels,
    where each label refers to a dimension of the corresponding operand.
    Whenever a label is repeated it is summed, so ``np.einsum('i,i', a, b)``
    is equivalent to :py:func:`np.inner(a,b) <numpy.inner>`. If a label
    appears only once, it is not summed, so ``np.einsum('i', a)`` produces a
    view of ``a`` with no changes. A further example ``np.einsum('ij,jk', a, b)``
    describes traditional matrix multiplication and is equivalent to
    :py:func:`np.matmul(a,b) <numpy.matmul>`. Repeated subscript labels in one
    operand take the diagonal. For example, ``np.einsum('ii', a)`` is equivalent
    to :py:func:`np.trace(a) <numpy.trace>`.

    In *implicit mode*, the chosen subscripts are important
    since the axes of the output are reordered alphabetically.  This
    means that ``np.einsum('ij', a)`` doesn't affect a 2D array, while
    ``np.einsum('ji', a)`` takes its transpose. Additionally,
    ``np.einsum('ij,jk', a, b)`` returns a matrix multiplication, while,
    ``np.einsum('ij,jh', a, b)`` returns the transpose of the
    multiplication since subscript 'h' precedes subscript 'i'.

    In *explicit mode* the output can be directly controlled by
    specifying output subscript labels.  This requires the
    identifier '->' as well as the list of output subscript labels.
    This feature increases the flexibility of the function since
    summing can be disabled or forced when required. The call
    ``np.einsum('i->', a)`` is like :py:func:`np.sum(a, axis=-1) <numpy.sum>`,
    and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)`` is like :py:func:`np.diag(a) <numpy.diag>`.
    The difference is that `einsum` does not allow broadcasting by default.
    Additionally ``np.einsum('ij,jh->ih', a, b)`` directly specifies the
    order of the output subscript labels and therefore returns matrix
    multiplication, unlike the example above in implicit mode.

    To enable and control broadcasting, use an ellipsis.  Default
    NumPy-style broadcasting is done by adding an ellipsis
    to the left of each term, like ``np.einsum('...ii->...i', a)``.
    To take the trace along the first and last axes,
    you can do ``np.einsum('i...i', a)``, or to do a matrix-matrix
    product with the left-most indices instead of rightmost, one can do
    ``np.einsum('ij...,jk...->ik...', a, b)``.

    When there is only one operand, no axes are summed, and no output
    parameter is provided, a view into the operand is returned instead
    of a new array.  Thus, taking the diagonal as ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
    produces a view (changed in version 1.10.0).

    `einsum` also provides an alternative way to provide the subscripts
    and operands as ``einsum(op0, sublist0, op1, sublist1, ..., [sublistout])``.
    If the output shape is not provided in this format `einsum` will be
    calculated in implicit mode, otherwise it will be performed explicitly.
    The examples below have corresponding `einsum` calls with the two
    parameter methods.

    .. versionadded:: 1.10.0

    Views returned from einsum are now writeable whenever the input array
    is writeable. For example, ``np.einsum('ijk...->kji...', a)`` will now
    have the same effect as :py:func:`np.swapaxes(a, 0, 2) <numpy.swapaxes>`
    and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)`` will return a writeable view of the diagonal
    of a 2D array.

    .. versionadded:: 1.12.0

    Added the ``optimize`` argument which will optimize the contraction order
    of an einsum expression. For a contraction with three or more operands this
    can greatly increase the computational efficiency at the cost of a larger
    memory footprint during computation.

    Typically a 'greedy' algorithm is applied which empirical tests have shown
    returns the optimal path in the majority of cases. In some cases 'optimal'
    will return the superlative path through a more expensive, exhaustive search.
    For iterative calculations it may be advisable to calculate the optimal path
    once and reuse that path by supplying it as an argument. An example is given
    below.

    See :py:func:`numpy.einsum_path` for more details.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.arange(25).reshape(5,5)
    >>> b = np.arange(5)
    >>> c = np.arange(6).reshape(2,3)

    Trace of a matrix:

    >>> np.einsum('ii', a)
    60
    >>> np.einsum(a, [0,0])
    60
    >>> np.trace(a)
    60

    Extract the diagonal (requires explicit form):

    >>> np.einsum('ii->i', a)
    array([ 0,  6, 12, 18, 24])
    >>> np.einsum(a, [0,0], [0])
    array([ 0,  6, 12, 18, 24])
    >>> np.diag(a)
    array([ 0,  6, 12, 18, 24])

    Sum over an axis (requires explicit form):

    >>> np.einsum('ij->i', a)
    array([ 10,  35,  60,  85, 110])
    >>> np.einsum(a, [0,1], [0])
    array([ 10,  35,  60,  85, 110])
    >>> np.sum(a, axis=1)
    array([ 10,  35,  60,  85, 110])

    For higher dimensional arrays summing a single axis can be done with ellipsis:

    >>> np.einsum('...j->...', a)
    array([ 10,  35,  60,  85, 110])
    >>> np.einsum(a, [Ellipsis,1], [Ellipsis])
    array([ 10,  35,  60,  85, 110])

    Compute a matrix transpose, or reorder any number of axes:

    >>> np.einsum('ji', c)
    array([[0, 3],
           [1, 4],
           [2, 5]])
    >>> np.einsum('ij->ji', c)
    array([[0, 3],
           [1, 4],
           [2, 5]])
    >>> np.einsum(c, [1,0])
    array([[0, 3],
           [1, 4],
           [2, 5]])
    >>> np.transpose(c)
    array([[0, 3],
           [1, 4],
           [2, 5]])

    Vector inner products:

    >>> np.einsum('i,i', b, b)
    30
    >>> np.einsum(b, [0], b, [0])
    30
    >>> np.inner(b,b)
    30

    Matrix vector multiplication:

    >>> np.einsum('ij,j', a, b)
    array([ 30,  80, 130, 180, 230])
    >>> np.einsum(a, [0,1], b, [1])
    array([ 30,  80, 130, 180, 230])
    >>> np.dot(a, b)
    array([ 30,  80, 130, 180, 230])
    >>> np.einsum('...j,j', a, b)
    array([ 30,  80, 130, 180, 230])

    Broadcasting and scalar multiplication:

    >>> np.einsum('..., ...', 3, c)
    array([[ 0,  3,  6],
           [ 9, 12, 15]])
    >>> np.einsum(',ij', 3, c)
    array([[ 0,  3,  6],
           [ 9, 12, 15]])
    >>> np.einsum(3, [Ellipsis], c, [Ellipsis])
    array([[ 0,  3,  6],
           [ 9, 12, 15]])
    >>> np.multiply(3, c)
    array([[ 0,  3,  6],
           [ 9, 12, 15]])

    Vector outer product:

    >>> np.einsum('i,j', np.arange(2)+1, b)
    array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
           [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]])
    >>> np.einsum(np.arange(2)+1, [0], b, [1])
    array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
           [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]])
    >>> np.outer(np.arange(2)+1, b)
    array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
           [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]])

    Tensor contraction:

    >>> a = np.arange(60.).reshape(3,4,5)
    >>> b = np.arange(24.).reshape(4,3,2)
    >>> np.einsum('ijk,jil->kl', a, b)
    array([[4400., 4730.],
           [4532., 4874.],
           [4664., 5018.],
           [4796., 5162.],
           [4928., 5306.]])
    >>> np.einsum(a, [0,1,2], b, [1,0,3], [2,3])
    array([[4400., 4730.],
           [4532., 4874.],
           [4664., 5018.],
           [4796., 5162.],
           [4928., 5306.]])
    >>> np.tensordot(a,b, axes=([1,0],[0,1]))
    array([[4400., 4730.],
           [4532., 4874.],
           [4664., 5018.],
           [4796., 5162.],
           [4928., 5306.]])

    Writeable returned arrays (since version 1.10.0):

    >>> a = np.zeros((3, 3))
    >>> np.einsum('ii->i', a)[:] = 1
    >>> a
    array([[1., 0., 0.],
           [0., 1., 0.],
           [0., 0., 1.]])

    Example of ellipsis use:

    >>> a = np.arange(6).reshape((3,2))
    >>> b = np.arange(12).reshape((4,3))
    >>> np.einsum('ki,jk->ij', a, b)
    array([[10, 28, 46, 64],
           [13, 40, 67, 94]])
    >>> np.einsum('ki,...k->i...', a, b)
    array([[10, 28, 46, 64],
           [13, 40, 67, 94]])
    >>> np.einsum('k...,jk', a, b)
    array([[10, 28, 46, 64],
           [13, 40, 67, 94]])

    Chained array operations. For more complicated contractions, speed ups
    might be achieved by repeatedly computing a 'greedy' path or pre-computing the
    'optimal' path and repeatedly applying it, using an
    `einsum_path` insertion (since version 1.12.0). Performance improvements can be
    particularly significant with larger arrays:

    >>> a = np.ones(64).reshape(2,4,8)

    Basic `einsum`: ~1520ms  (benchmarked on 3.1GHz Intel i5.)

    >>> for iteration in range(500):
    ...     _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a)

    Sub-optimal `einsum` (due to repeated path calculation time): ~330ms

    >>> for iteration in range(500):
    ...     _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize='optimal')

    Greedy `einsum` (faster optimal path approximation): ~160ms

    >>> for iteration in range(500):
    ...     _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize='greedy')

    Optimal `einsum` (best usage pattern in some use cases): ~110ms

    >>> path = np.einsum_path('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize='optimal')[0]
    >>> for iteration in range(500):
    ...     _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize=path)
