\[wj - \left(\frac{wj}{wj + 1} - \frac{x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (- wj (/ (- (* wj (exp wj)) x) (+ (exp wj) (* wj (exp wj))))) < 1.0443304037475597e-08

    1. Initial program 18.1

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

    2. Simplified18.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + wj\right) - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}}\]
    3. Using strategy rm

    4. Applied associate--l+9.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + \left(wj - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}\right)}\]

    5. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + \color{blue}{\left(\left({wj}^{4} + {wj}^{2}\right) - {wj}^{3}\right)}\]

    if 1.0443304037475597e-08 < (- wj (/ (- (* wj (exp wj)) x) (+ (exp wj) (* wj (exp wj)))))

    1. Initial program 2.4

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

    2. Simplified0.2

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + wj\right) - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}}\]
    3. Using strategy rm

    4. Applied associate--l+0.2

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

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}} \le 1.0443304037476 \cdot 10^{-8}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + \left(\left({wj}^{4} + {wj}^{2}\right) - {wj}^{3}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + \left(wj - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
