go implementation of the scaled complementary error function
erfcx(x) is shown in blue, with the limits 2*exp(x*x) for negative x values and
(1/√π)(1/x) for large x values
Package erfcx provides the scaled complementary error function for float64.
This is a port of erfcx.c from libcerf-5.1 to go.
Library libcerf:
Compute complex error functions, based on a new implementation of
Faddeeva's w_of_z. Also provide Dawson and Voigt functions.
File erfcx.c:
Compute erfcx(x) = exp(x^2) erfc(x) function, for real x,
using a novel algorithm that is much faster than DERFC of SLATEC.
This function is used in the computation of Faddeeva, Dawson, and
other complex error functions.
