Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.00557478305513744 or 0.007246948837384183 < x

    1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1\]

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{2}{\color{blue}{e^{-2 \cdot x} + 1}} - 1\]

    if -0.00557478305513744 < x < 0.007246948837384183

    1. Initial program 59.2

      \[\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1\]

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 59.2

      \[\leadsto \frac{2}{\color{blue}{e^{-2 \cdot x} + 1}} - 1\]

    3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x + \frac{2}{15} \cdot {x}^{5}\right) - \frac{1}{3} \cdot {x}^{3}}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.0

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -0.00557478305513744 \lor \neg \left(x \le 0.007246948837384183\right):\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{2}{15} \cdot {x}^{5} + x\right) - {x}^{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3}\\ \end{array}\]
