Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if re < 2.9455260409015681e-286

    1. Initial program 45.5

      \[0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} + re\right)}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied flip-+45.3

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} \cdot \sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re \cdot re}{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re}}}\]

    4. Simplified36.0

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{{im}^{2}}}{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re}}\]

    if 2.9455260409015681e-286 < re < 1.00481041637642776e122

    1. Initial program 20.1

      \[0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} + re\right)}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt20.1

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{\color{blue}{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} \cdot \sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}}} + re\right)}\]

    4. Applied sqrt-prod20.2

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\color{blue}{\sqrt{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}} \cdot \sqrt{\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}}} + re\right)}\]

    if 1.00481041637642776e122 < re

    1. Initial program 56.3

      \[0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} + re\right)}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 9.1

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\color{blue}{re} + re\right)}\]
