Error

Bits error versus N

Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if N < 7828.3924782253

   1. Initial program 0.1

      \[\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\]
   2. Using strategy rm

   3. Applied diff-log 0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(\frac{N + 1}{N}\right)}\]

   if 7828.3924782253 < N

   1. Initial program 59.5

      \[\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\]
   2. Using strategy rm

   3. Applied diff-log 59.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(\frac{N + 1}{N}\right)}\]

   4. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(0.333333333333333315 \cdot \frac{1}{{N}^{3}} + 1 \cdot \frac{1}{N}\right) - 0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{{N}^{2}}}\]

   5. Simplified 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{1}{N}, 1 - \frac{0.5}{N}, \frac{0.333333333333333315}{{N}^{3}}\right)}\]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 0.1

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;N \le 7828.3924782252998:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{N + 1}{N}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{1}{N}, 1 - \frac{0.5}{N}, \frac{0.333333333333333315}{{N}^{3}}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
