Bits error versus u1

Bits error versus u2

Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.4

    \[\left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot {\left(-2 \cdot \log u1\right)}^{0.5}\right) \cdot \cos \left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot u2\right) + 0.5\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied associate-*l/0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1 \cdot {\left(-2 \cdot \log u1\right)}^{0.5}}{6}} \cdot \cos \left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot u2\right) + 0.5\]

  4. Simplified0.3

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{{\left(\log u1 \cdot -2\right)}^{0.5}}}{6} \cdot \cos \left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot u2\right) + 0.5\]

  5. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto 0.5 + \frac{{\left(-2 \cdot \log u1\right)}^{0.5}}{6} \cdot \cos \left(\left(\pi \cdot 2\right) \cdot u2\right)\]
