Error

Bits error versus N

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if N < 8105.940619307356

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\]
    2. Initial simplification0.1

      \[\leadsto \log_* (1 + N) - \log N\]
    3. Using strategy rm
    4. Applied log1p-udef0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(1 + N\right)} - \log N\]
    5. Applied diff-log0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(\frac{1 + N}{N}\right)}\]

    if 8105.940619307356 < N

    1. Initial program 59.5

      \[\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\]
    2. Initial simplification59.5

      \[\leadsto \log_* (1 + N) - \log N\]
    3. Using strategy rm
    4. Applied log1p-udef59.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(1 + N\right)} - \log N\]
    5. Applied diff-log59.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(\frac{1 + N}{N}\right)}\]
    6. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{{N}^{3}} + \frac{1}{N}\right) - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{{N}^{2}}}\]
    7. Simplified0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{(\left(\frac{1}{N \cdot N}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{-1}{2} + \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{N}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{N}\right))_*}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;N \le 8105.940619307356:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{1 + N}{N}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;(\left(\frac{1}{N \cdot N}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{N} + \frac{-1}{2}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{N}\right))_*\\ \end{array}\]
