Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if re < -5.478528329622074e+148

    1. Initial program 63.7

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

    3. Applied flip-+63.7

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

    4. Simplified51.8

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

    5. Simplified32.3

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

    if -5.478528329622074e+148 < re

    1. Initial program 34.7

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

    3. Applied hypot-def8.7

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

  4. Final simplification11.8

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;re \le -5.47852832962207402 \cdot 10^{148}:\\ \;\;\;\;0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{im \cdot im}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) - re}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) + re\right)}\\ \end{array}\]
