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

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if wj < -6.106092415917111e-09 or 3.4475224910322588e-09 < wj

    1. Initial program 17.8

      \[wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied distribute-rgt1-in17.8

      \[\leadsto wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{\color{blue}{\left(wj + 1\right) \cdot e^{wj}}}\]
    4. Applied *-un-lft-identity17.8

      \[\leadsto wj - \frac{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(wj \cdot e^{wj} - x\right)}}{\left(wj + 1\right) \cdot e^{wj}}\]
    5. Applied times-frac17.8

      \[\leadsto wj - \color{blue}{\frac{1}{wj + 1} \cdot \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj}}}\]
    6. Simplified3.5

      \[\leadsto wj - \frac{1}{wj + 1} \cdot \color{blue}{\left(wj - \frac{x}{e^{wj}}\right)}\]
    7. Using strategy rm
    8. Applied div-inv3.5

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

    if -6.106092415917111e-09 < wj < 3.4475224910322588e-09

    1. Initial program 13.1

      \[wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left({wj}^{2} + x\right) - 2 \cdot \left(x \cdot wj\right)}\]
    3. Simplified0.2

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

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;wj \le -6.106092415917111 \cdot 10^{-09} \lor \neg \left(wj \le 3.4475224910322588 \cdot 10^{-09}\right):\\ \;\;\;\;wj - \frac{1}{1 + wj} \cdot \left(wj - x \cdot \frac{1}{e^{wj}}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;(wj \cdot \left((x \cdot -2 + wj)_*\right) + x)_*\\ \end{array}\]
