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

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{n} - \left(1 \cdot \log \left(\frac{1}{n}\right) + 0.1666666666666666851703837437526090070605 \cdot \frac{1}{{n}^{2}}\right)}\]

  4. Simplified0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{0.5}{n} - \mathsf{fma}\left(-\log n, 1, \frac{0.1666666666666666851703837437526090070605}{n \cdot n}\right)}\]

  5. Final simplification0
