\[wj - \left(\frac{wj}{wj + 1} - \frac{x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (- wj (/ (- (* wj (exp wj)) x) (+ (exp wj) (* wj (exp wj))))) < 2.2227895358128606e-18

    1. Initial program 18.1

      \[wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left({wj}^{2} + x\right) - 2 \cdot \left(wj \cdot x\right)}\]

    if 2.2227895358128606e-18 < (- wj (/ (- (* wj (exp wj)) x) (+ (exp wj) (* wj (exp wj)))))

    1. Initial program 2.7

      \[wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied sub-neg2.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{wj + \left(-\frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\right)}\]

    4. Applied simplify0.7

      \[\leadsto wj + \color{blue}{\left(\frac{\frac{x}{e^{wj}}}{wj + 1} - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
