\[wj - \left(\frac{wj}{wj + 1} - \frac{x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if wj < 3.64129178563559e-09

    1. Initial program 13.1

      \[wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\]

    2. Simplified13.1

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

    3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x + {wj}^{2}\right) - 2 \cdot \left(wj \cdot x\right)}\]

    if 3.64129178563559e-09 < wj

    1. Initial program 22.1

      \[wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\]

    2. Simplified2.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + wj\right) - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}}\]
    3. Using strategy rm

    4. Applied *-un-lft-identity2.5

      \[\leadsto \left(\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot e^{wj}}} + wj\right) - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}\]

    5. Applied div-inv2.6

      \[\leadsto \left(\frac{\color{blue}{x \cdot \frac{1}{wj + 1}}}{1 \cdot e^{wj}} + wj\right) - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}\]

    6. Applied times-frac2.6

      \[\leadsto \left(\color{blue}{\frac{x}{1} \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}}} + wj\right) - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}\]

    7. Simplified2.6

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

  4. Final simplification0.9

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;wj \le 3.6412917856355898 \cdot 10^{-9}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(x + {wj}^{2}\right) - 2 \cdot \left(wj \cdot x\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(x \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + wj\right) - \frac{wj}{wj + 1}\\ \end{array}\]
