tf.math.maximum(
    x, y, name=None
)

Example:

x = tf.constant([0., 0., 0., 0.])
y = tf.constant([-2., 0., 2., 5.])
tf.math.maximum(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=float32, numpy=array([0., 0., 2., 5.], dtype=float32)>

Note that maximum supports broadcast semantics for x and y.

x = tf.constant([-5., 0., 0., 0.])
y = tf.constant([-3.])
tf.math.maximum(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=float32, numpy=array([-3., 0., 0., 0.], dtype=float32)>

The reduction version of this elementwise operation is tf.math.reduce_max

Args
x	A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: bfloat16, half, float32, float64, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64.
y	A Tensor. Must have the same type as x.
name	A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor. Has the same type as x.
