NAME
cerfcx, erfcx - underflow-compensated complementary error function
SYNOPSIS
#include <cerf.h> double _Complex cerfcx ( double _Complex z ); double erfcx ( double x );
DESCRIPTION
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.
REFERENCES
The implementation of cerfcx is a thin wrapper around Faddeeva's function w_of_z. The implementation of erfcx is self-contained, and improves upon the SLATEC DERFC function (or an erfcx function derived therefrom) or Cody's CALERF function (from netlib.org/specfun), while retaining near machine precision in accuracy.
