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

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if wj < 8.775024225960442e-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 0.8

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

    if 8.775024225960442e-09 < wj

    1. Initial program 25.5

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

    2. Simplified2.8

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

    4. Applied add-sqr-sqrt2.9

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

    5. Applied associate-/l*2.9

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

  4. Final simplification0.8

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;wj \le 8.77502422596044175 \cdot 10^{-9}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(x + {wj}^{2}\right) - 2 \cdot \left(wj \cdot x\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{\frac{x}{wj + 1}}{e^{wj}} + wj\right) - \frac{\sqrt{wj}}{\frac{wj + 1}{\sqrt{wj}}}\\ \end{array}\]
