Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (*.f64 -2 x) < -3.89596824665429464

    1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1 \]

    2. Applied add-exp-log_binary640.0

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

    3. Applied expm1-def_binary640.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{expm1}\left(\log \left(\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}}\right)\right)} \]

    if -3.89596824665429464 < (*.f64 -2 x)

    1. Initial program 39.4

      \[\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}} - 1 \]

    2. Applied add-exp-log_binary6439.4

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

    3. Applied expm1-def_binary6439.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{expm1}\left(\log \left(\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}}\right)\right)} \]

    4. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.3

      \[\leadsto \mathsf{expm1}\left(\color{blue}{x - 0.5 \cdot {x}^{2}}\right) \]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;-2 \cdot x \leq -3.8959682466542946:\\ \;\;\;\;\mathsf{expm1}\left(\log \left(\frac{2}{1 + e^{-2 \cdot x}}\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\mathsf{expm1}\left(x - 0.5 \cdot {x}^{2}\right)\\ \end{array} \]
