Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if y < -251769243.5141435 or 50023976.468255654 < y

    1. Initial program 46.6

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.1

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

    3. Simplified0.1

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

    if -251769243.5141435 < y < 50023976.468255654

    1. Initial program 0.1

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

    3. Applied add-log-exp0.1

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

    4. Applied diff-log0.1

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

  4. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;y \le -251769243.514143497 \lor \neg \left(y \le 50023976.468255654\right):\\ \;\;\;\;1 - \log \left(1 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{{y}^{2}} - \frac{1}{y}\right) + \frac{x}{y}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{e^{1}}{1 - \frac{x - y}{1 - y}}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
