Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if phi1 < -1.4575744108312988e+95

    1. Initial program 54.3

      \[R \cdot \sqrt{\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.0

      \[\leadsto R \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\phi_2 - \phi_1\right)}\]

    if -1.4575744108312988e+95 < phi1

    1. Initial program 34.3

      \[R \cdot \sqrt{\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied associate-*r*34.3

      \[\leadsto R \cdot \sqrt{\color{blue}{\left(\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)} + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)}\]
    4. Using strategy rm

    5. Applied add-cbrt-cube34.3

      \[\leadsto R \cdot \sqrt{\left(\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)}} + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)}\]

    6. Applied simplify34.3

      \[\leadsto R \cdot \sqrt{\left(\left(\left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\phi_1 + \phi_2}{2}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{{\left(\cos \left(\frac{\phi_2 + \phi_1}{2}\right)\right)}^{3}}} + \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\phi_1 - \phi_2\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Removed slow pow expressions.
