Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if re < 3.7074776767563821e-132

    1. Initial program 30.0

      \[0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re\right)} \]

    2. Simplified1.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) - re\right)}} \]

    if 3.7074776767563821e-132 < re

    1. Initial program 50.4

      \[0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re\right)} \]

    2. Simplified34.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) - re\right)}} \]

    3. Taylor expanded in im around 0 21.1

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\left(\sqrt{0.5} \cdot \left(\sqrt{2} \cdot im\right)\right) \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{re}}\right)} \]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification8.6

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;re \leq 3.707477676756382 \cdot 10^{-132}:\\ \;\;\;\;0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) - re\right)}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;0.5 \cdot \left(\left(\sqrt{0.5} \cdot \left(im \cdot \sqrt{2}\right)\right) \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{re}}\right)\\ \end{array} \]
