Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if alpha < 1.1921834246136522e+17

    1. Initial program 0.5

      \[\frac{\frac{\beta - \alpha}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} + 1.0}{2.0}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied div-sub0.5

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(\frac{\beta}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - \frac{\alpha}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0}\right)} + 1.0}{2.0}\]

    4. Applied associate-+l-0.5

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\beta}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - \left(\frac{\alpha}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - 1.0\right)}}{2.0}\]
    5. Using strategy rm

    6. Applied div-inv0.6

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\beta}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - \left(\color{blue}{\alpha \cdot \frac{1}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0}} - 1.0\right)}{2.0}\]

    if 1.1921834246136522e+17 < alpha

    1. Initial program 50.9

      \[\frac{\frac{\beta - \alpha}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} + 1.0}{2.0}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied div-sub50.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(\frac{\beta}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - \frac{\alpha}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0}\right)} + 1.0}{2.0}\]

    4. Applied associate-+l-49.3

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\beta}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - \left(\frac{\alpha}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - 1.0\right)}}{2.0}\]

    5. Taylor expanded around inf 18.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\beta}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - \color{blue}{\left(4.0 \cdot \frac{1}{{\alpha}^{2}} - \left(2.0 \cdot \frac{1}{\alpha} + 8.0 \cdot \frac{1}{{\alpha}^{3}}\right)\right)}}{2.0}\]

    6. Simplified18.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\beta}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} - \color{blue}{\left(\frac{4.0}{\alpha \cdot \alpha} - \frac{2.0 + \frac{8.0}{\alpha \cdot \alpha}}{\alpha}\right)}}{2.0}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification5.9

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\alpha \le 1.1921834246136522 \cdot 10^{+17}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\beta}{2.0 + \left(\beta + \alpha\right)} - \left(\frac{1}{2.0 + \left(\beta + \alpha\right)} \cdot \alpha - 1.0\right)}{2.0}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\beta}{2.0 + \left(\beta + \alpha\right)} - \left(\frac{4.0}{\alpha \cdot \alpha} - \frac{2.0 + \frac{8.0}{\alpha \cdot \alpha}}{\alpha}\right)}{2.0}\\ \end{array}\]
