Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if (- phi2 phi1) < -7.491742215715992e+162

    1. Initial program 60.8

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 60.8

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

    3. Applied simplify60.8

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

    4. Taylor expanded around inf 53.7

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

    if -7.491742215715992e+162 < (- phi2 phi1) < 5.398217016267653e+92

    1. Initial program 22.9

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

    if 5.398217016267653e+92 < (- phi2 phi1)

    1. Initial program 51.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 17.6

      \[\leadsto R \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\phi_2 - \phi_1\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.
