Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if x < -9e8

    1. Initial program 0

      \[\log \left(1 + e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y \]
    2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 21.9

      \[\leadsto \log \color{blue}{2} - x \cdot y \]
    3. Taylor expanded in x around inf 0

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

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-x \cdot y} \]
      Proof

    if -9e8 < x

    1. Initial program 0.7

      \[\log \left(1 + e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y \]
    2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 1.1

      \[\leadsto \log \color{blue}{\left(2 + \left(0.5 \cdot {x}^{2} + x\right)\right)} - x \cdot y \]
    3. Simplified1.1

      \[\leadsto \log \color{blue}{\left(2 + \mathsf{fma}\left(0.5, x \cdot x, x\right)\right)} - x \cdot y \]
      Proof
    4. Taylor expanded in x around 0 1.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(0.125 \cdot {x}^{2} + \left(0.5 \cdot x + \log 2\right)\right)} - x \cdot y \]
    5. Simplified1.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x \cdot \left(0.125 \cdot x + 0.5\right) + \log 2\right)} - x \cdot y \]
      Proof
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
