cerfcx (3)

#include <cerf.h>

double _Complex cerfcx ( double _Complex z );

double erfcx ( double x );

The function cerfcx is an underflow-compensated variant of the complex error function: erfcx(z) = exp(z^2) erfc(z).

The function erfcx takes a real argument and returns a real result.

The implementation of cerfcx is a thin wrapper around Faddeeva's function w_of_z.

The implementation of ercx is self-contained, and improves upon the \s-1SLATEC\s0 \s-1DERFC\s0 function (or an erfcx function derived therefrom) or Cody's \s-1CALERF\s0 function (from netlib.org/specfun), while retaining near machine precision in accuracy.

Please report bugs to the authors.
