Complex division, real part

Average Error: 26.0 → 25.9

Time: 4.5s

Precision: binary64

Math

\[\frac{a \cdot c + b \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]

↓

\[\frac{\frac{a \cdot c + b \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\]

C

double code(double a, double b, double c, double d) {
	return ((double) (((double) (((double) (a * c)) + ((double) (b * d)))) / ((double) (((double) (c * c)) + ((double) (d * d))))));
}

↓

double code(double a, double b, double c, double d) {
	return ((double) (((double) (((double) (((double) (a * c)) + ((double) (b * d)))) / ((double) sqrt(((double) (((double) (c * c)) + ((double) (d * d)))))))) / ((double) sqrt(((double) (((double) (c * c)) + ((double) (d * d))))))));

Target

Original	26.0
Target	0.4
Herbie	25.9

\[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\left|d\right| \lt \left|c\right|:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{a + b \cdot \frac{d}{c}}{c + d \cdot \frac{d}{c}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{b + a \cdot \frac{c}{d}}{d + c \cdot \frac{c}{d}}\\ \end{array}\]

Derivation

1. Initial program 26.0

   \[\frac{a \cdot c + b \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt 26.0

   \[\leadsto \frac{a \cdot c + b \cdot d}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \cdot \sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]

4. Applied associate-/r* 25.9

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{a \cdot c + b \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]

5. Final simplification 25.9

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{a \cdot c + b \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\]
