Derivation

  1. Initial program 63.0

    \[\left(\left(n + 1\right) \cdot \log \left(n + 1\right) - n \cdot \log n\right) - 1\]

  2. Simplified62.0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(n + 1\right) \cdot \log \left(n + 1\right) - \mathsf{fma}\left(\log n, n, 1\right)}\]

  3. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{n} - \left(1 \cdot \log \left(\frac{1}{n}\right) + 0.16666666666666669 \cdot \frac{1}{{n}^{2}}\right)}\]

  4. Simplified0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{0.5}{n} - \mathsf{fma}\left(1, -\log n, \frac{0.16666666666666669}{n \cdot n}\right)}\]

  5. Final simplification0

    \[\leadsto \frac{0.5}{n} - \mathsf{fma}\left(1, -\log n, \frac{0.16666666666666669}{n \cdot n}\right)\]
