Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (-.f64 (log.f64 (+.f64 N 1)) (log.f64 N)) < 2.249517264e-6

    1. Initial program 59.7

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

    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

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

    if 2.249517264e-6 < (-.f64 (log.f64 (+.f64 N 1)) (log.f64 N))

    1. Initial program 0.2

      \[\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied diff-log_binary640.1

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

  4. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\log \left(N + 1\right) - \log N \leq 2.2495172640191186 \cdot 10^{-06}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{1}{N} - \frac{0.5}{N \cdot N}\right) + \frac{0.3333333333333333}{{N}^{3}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{N + 1}{N}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
