Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.9

    \[\lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{\cos \phi_1 + \cos \phi_2 \cdot \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)} \]

  2. Simplified0.9

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \phi_2, \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right), \cos \phi_1\right)}} \]

  3. Applied egg-rr0.9

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\color{blue}{\mathsf{expm1}\left(\mathsf{log1p}\left(\sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \phi_2\right)\right)}}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \phi_2, \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right), \cos \phi_1\right)} \]

  4. Applied egg-rr0.9

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\mathsf{expm1}\left(\mathsf{log1p}\left(\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\sin \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, -\cos \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)} \cdot \cos \phi_2\right)\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \phi_2, \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right), \cos \phi_1\right)} \]

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\mathsf{expm1}\left(\mathsf{log1p}\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(\sin \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, -\cos \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \phi_2\right)\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \phi_2, \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)}, \cos \phi_1\right)} \]

  6. Taylor expanded in lambda1 around inf 0.2

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\color{blue}{\left(\sin \lambda_1 \cdot \cos \lambda_2 - \sin \lambda_2 \cdot \cos \lambda_1\right) \cdot \cos \phi_2}}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \phi_2, \mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right), \cos \phi_1\right)} \]

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\left(\sin \lambda_1 \cdot \cos \lambda_2 - \sin \lambda_2 \cdot \cos \lambda_1\right) \cdot \cos \phi_2}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \phi_2, \mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right), \cos \phi_1\right)} \]
