\[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(1 + e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(1 + e^{-x}\right) - \left(-x\right) \cdot \left(1 - y\right)\\ \end{array} \]

Derivation

1. Initial program 1.04

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

2. Simplified 0.98

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 1.04	\[ \log \left(1 + e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y \]
   log1p-def [=>] 0.98	\[ \color{blue}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(e^{x}\right)} - x \cdot y \]

3. Final simplification 0.98

   \[\leadsto \mathsf{log1p}\left(e^{x}\right) - x \cdot y \]
