Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < 6834308.8393940255

    1. Initial program 46.9

      \[{\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} \]

    2. Taylor expanded in n around inf 13.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(0.5 \cdot \frac{{\log \left(1 + x\right)}^{2}}{{n}^{2}} + \left(0.16666666666666666 \cdot \frac{{\log \left(1 + x\right)}^{3}}{{n}^{3}} + \frac{\log \left(1 + x\right)}{n}\right)\right) - \left(0.16666666666666666 \cdot \frac{{\log x}^{3}}{{n}^{3}} + \left(0.5 \cdot \frac{{\log x}^{2}}{{n}^{2}} + \frac{\log x}{n}\right)\right)} \]

    3. Simplified13.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(0.5, \frac{{\left(\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)\right)}^{2}}{n \cdot n}, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.16666666666666666, {\left(\frac{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}{n}\right)}^{3}, \frac{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}{n}\right)\right) - \mathsf{fma}\left(0.16666666666666666, {\left(\frac{\log x}{n}\right)}^{3}, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.5, \frac{{\log x}^{2}}{n \cdot n}, \frac{\log x}{n}\right)\right)} \]

    if 6834308.8393940255 < x

    1. Initial program 20.5

      \[{\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} \]

    2. Taylor expanded in x around inf 1.2

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

    3. Simplified1.2

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{e^{\frac{\log x}{n}}}{x \cdot n}} \]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification7.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq 6834308.8393940255:\\ \;\;\;\;\mathsf{fma}\left(0.5, \frac{{\left(\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)\right)}^{2}}{n \cdot n}, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.16666666666666666, {\left(\frac{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}{n}\right)}^{3}, \frac{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}{n}\right)\right) - \mathsf{fma}\left(0.16666666666666666, {\left(\frac{\log x}{n}\right)}^{3}, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.5, \frac{{\log x}^{2}}{n \cdot n}, \frac{\log x}{n}\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{e^{\frac{\log x}{n}}}{x \cdot n}\\ \end{array} \]
