Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if y < -2.361719426239133e+16 or 34062684.84310692 < y

    1. Initial program 47.8

      \[1 - \log \left(1 - \frac{x - y}{1 - y}\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

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

    3. Simplified0.0

      \[\leadsto 1 - \log \color{blue}{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(1, \frac{x}{{y}^{2}} - \frac{1}{y}, \frac{x}{y}\right)\right)}\]

    if -2.361719426239133e+16 < y < 34062684.84310692

    1. Initial program 0.4

      \[1 - \log \left(1 - \frac{x - y}{1 - y}\right)\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied div-inv0.4

      \[\leadsto 1 - \log \left(1 - \color{blue}{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 - y}}\right)\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;y \le -23617194262391328 \lor \neg \left(y \le 34062684.843106918\right):\\ \;\;\;\;1 - \log \left(\mathsf{fma}\left(1, \frac{x}{{y}^{2}} - \frac{1}{y}, \frac{x}{y}\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;1 - \log \left(1 - \left(x - y\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 - y}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
