Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if re < -1.6153049614391933e+157 or -3.390257965100829e+33 < re < -2.903575120643544e-25

    1. Initial program 58.7

      \[0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} + re\right)}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied flip-+58.7

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} \cdot \sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re \cdot re}{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re}}}\]

    4. Simplified45.4

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{{im}^{2}}}{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re}}\]

    5. Simplified30.3

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{{im}^{2}}{\color{blue}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) - re}}}\]

    if -1.6153049614391933e+157 < re < -3.390257965100829e+33 or -2.903575120643544e-25 < re

    1. Initial program 34.1

      \[0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} + re\right)}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied hypot-def7.8

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\color{blue}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right)} + re\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification11.7

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;re \le -1.61530496143919334 \cdot 10^{157} \lor \neg \left(re \le -3.39025796510082909 \cdot 10^{33} \lor \neg \left(re \le -2.90357512064354378 \cdot 10^{-25}\right)\right):\\ \;\;\;\;0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{{im}^{2}}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) - re}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) + re\right)}\\ \end{array}\]
