Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if y < -83317507269799.2031 or 720987198.465948462 < y

    1. Initial program Error: 47.4 bits

      \[1 - \log \left(1 - \frac{x - y}{1 - y}\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf Error: 0.0 bits

      \[\leadsto 1 - \log \color{blue}{\left(\left(\frac{x}{y} + 1 \cdot \frac{x}{{y}^{2}}\right) - 1 \cdot \frac{1}{y}\right)}\]

    3. SimplifiedError: 0.0 bits

      \[\leadsto 1 - \log \color{blue}{\left(\frac{x}{y} + \frac{1}{y} \cdot \left(\frac{x}{y} + -1\right)\right)}\]

    if -83317507269799.2031 < y < 720987198.465948462

    1. Initial program Error: 0.3 bits

      \[1 - \log \left(1 - \frac{x - y}{1 - y}\right)\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied add-log-expError: 0.3 bits

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

    4. Applied diff-logError: 0.3 bits

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

    5. SimplifiedError: 0.3 bits

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

  4. Final simplificationError: 0.2 bits

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;y \leq -83317507269799.2 \lor \neg \left(y \leq 720987198.4659485\right):\\ \;\;\;\;1 - \log \left(\frac{x}{y} + \frac{1}{y} \cdot \left(\frac{x}{y} + -1\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{e^{1}}{1 + \frac{y - x}{1 - y}}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
