Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if z < 1.18402548907051912e-187

    1. Initial program 4.4

      \[\left(x \cdot 2 - \left(\left(y \cdot 9\right) \cdot z\right) \cdot t\right) + \left(a \cdot 27\right) \cdot b \]

    2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(27 \cdot \left(a \cdot b\right) + 2 \cdot x\right) - 9 \cdot \left(y \cdot \left(t \cdot z\right)\right)} \]

    3. Simplified0.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(27, a \cdot b, \mathsf{fma}\left(y, t \cdot \left(z \cdot -9\right), 2 \cdot x\right)\right)} \]

    4. Taylor expanded in a around 0 0.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(27 \cdot \left(a \cdot b\right) + 2 \cdot x\right) - 9 \cdot \left(y \cdot \left(t \cdot z\right)\right)} \]

    5. Simplified0.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(2, x, \mathsf{fma}\left(y \cdot \left(t \cdot z\right), -9, a \cdot \left(27 \cdot b\right)\right)\right)} \]

    if 1.18402548907051912e-187 < z

    1. Initial program 0.9

      \[\left(x \cdot 2 - \left(\left(y \cdot 9\right) \cdot z\right) \cdot t\right) + \left(a \cdot 27\right) \cdot b \]

    2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 7.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(27 \cdot \left(a \cdot b\right) + 2 \cdot x\right) - 9 \cdot \left(y \cdot \left(t \cdot z\right)\right)} \]

    3. Simplified7.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(27, a \cdot b, \mathsf{fma}\left(y, t \cdot \left(z \cdot -9\right), 2 \cdot x\right)\right)} \]

    4. Taylor expanded in y around 0 7.6

      \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(27, a \cdot b, \color{blue}{2 \cdot x - 9 \cdot \left(y \cdot \left(t \cdot z\right)\right)}\right) \]

    5. Simplified0.8

      \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(27, a \cdot b, \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(t \cdot -9, y \cdot z, 2 \cdot x\right)}\right) \]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;z \leq 1.184025489070519 \cdot 10^{-187}:\\ \;\;\;\;\mathsf{fma}\left(2, x, \mathsf{fma}\left(y \cdot \left(z \cdot t\right), -9, a \cdot \left(27 \cdot b\right)\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\mathsf{fma}\left(27, a \cdot b, \mathsf{fma}\left(t \cdot -9, z \cdot y, 2 \cdot x\right)\right)\\ \end{array} \]
