Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (-.f64 (log.f64 (+.f64 N 1)) (log.f64 N)) < 6.7743116e-8

    1. Initial program 60.0

      \[\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(0.3333333333333333 \cdot \frac{1}{{N}^{3}} + \frac{1}{N}\right) - 0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{{N}^{2}}}\]

    3. Simplified0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{0.3333333333333333}{{N}^{3}} + \frac{1}{N}\right) - \frac{0.5}{N \cdot N}}\]

    if 6.7743116e-8 < (-.f64 (log.f64 (+.f64 N 1)) (log.f64 N))

    1. Initial program 0.3

      \[\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N \leq 6.774311600565852 \cdot 10^{-08}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{0.3333333333333333}{{N}^{3}} + \frac{1}{N}\right) - \frac{0.5}{N \cdot N}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\\ \end{array}\]
