Derivation

  1. Initial program Error: 63.0 bits

    \[\left(\left(n + 1\right) \cdot \log \left(n + 1\right) - n \cdot \log n\right) - 1\]

  2. SimplifiedError: 62.0 bits

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

  3. Taylor expanded around inf Error: 0.0 bits

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(1 \cdot \log 1 + 0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{n}\right) - \left(1 \cdot \log \left(\frac{1}{n}\right) + 0.16666666666666669 \cdot \frac{1}{{n}^{2}}\right)}\]

  4. SimplifiedError: 0 bits

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{0.5}{n} + \left(1 \cdot \log n - \frac{0.16666666666666669}{n \cdot n}\right)}\]

  5. Final simplificationError: 0 bits

    \[\leadsto \frac{0.5}{n} + \left(1 \cdot \log n - \frac{0.16666666666666669}{n \cdot n}\right)\]
