Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if x < -56

    1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\log \left(1 + e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y \]
    2. Simplified0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y} \]
      Proof
      (-.f64 (log1p.f64 (exp.f64 x)) (*.f64 x y)): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
      (-.f64 (Rewrite<= log1p-def_binary64 (log.f64 (+.f64 1 (exp.f64 x)))) (*.f64 x y)): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
    3. Taylor expanded in x around inf 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1 \cdot \left(y \cdot x\right)} \]
    4. Simplified0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot \left(-y\right)} \]
      Proof
      (*.f64 x (neg.f64 y)): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
      (Rewrite=> distribute-rgt-neg-out_binary64 (neg.f64 (*.f64 x y))): 4 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
      (Rewrite<= mul-1-neg_binary64 (*.f64 -1 (*.f64 x y))): 0 points increase in error, 4 points decrease in error
      (*.f64 -1 (Rewrite<= *-commutative_binary64 (*.f64 y x))): 4 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error

    if -56 < x

    1. Initial program 0.7

      \[\log \left(1 + e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y \]
    2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(0.5 - y\right) \cdot x + \log 2} \]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification0.6

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq -56:\\ \;\;\;\;x \cdot \left(-y\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;x \cdot \left(0.5 - y\right) + \log 2\\ \end{array} \]
