Derivation

1. Initial program 0.2

   \[\left({\left(a \cdot a + b \cdot b\right)}^{2} + 4 \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(1 + a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot \left(1 - 3 \cdot a\right)\right)\right) - 1\]

2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.0

   \[\leadsto \left(\color{blue}{\left({b}^{4} + \left({a}^{4} + 2 \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot {b}^{2}\right)\right)\right)} + 4 \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(1 + a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot \left(1 - 3 \cdot a\right)\right)\right) - 1\]

3. Final simplification0.0

   \[\leadsto \left(\left(\left({a}^{4} + \left({b}^{2} \cdot {a}^{2}\right) \cdot 2\right) + {b}^{4}\right) + \left(\left(a \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(a + 1\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot \left(1 - a \cdot 3\right)\right) \cdot 4\right) - 1\]
