.SH NAME
cerfcx, erfcx \- underflow\-compensated complementary error function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fB#include <cerf.h\fR>
.PP
\&\fBdouble _Complex cerfcx ( double _Complex z );\fR
.PP
\&\fBdouble          erfcx  ( double x );\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The function \fBcerfcx\fR is an underflow-compensated variant of the complex error function: erfcx(z) = exp(z^2) erfc(z).
.PP
The function \fBerfcx\fR takes a real argument and returns a real result.
.SH REFERENCES
.IX Header "REFERENCES"
The implementation of \fBcerfcx\fR is a thin wrapper around Faddeeva's
function \fBw_of_z\fR.
.PP
The implementation of \fBerfcx\fR 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.

Related complex error functions in liberfc:
\&\fBw_of_z\fR(3), \fBdawson\fR(3), \fBvoigt\fR(3), \fBcerf\fR(3), \fBerfi\fR(3).
.PP
The real error function comes with recent versions of glibc, as requested by the C99 standard:
