Notes

erfc_complex_vector computes values of the function , for , where is the complementary error function

for complex . The method used is that in Gautschi (1970) for in the first quadrant of the complex plane, and is extended for in other quadrants via the relations and . Following advice in Gautschi (1970) and van der Laan and Temme (1984), the code in Gautschi (1969) has been adapted to work in various precisions up to decimal places. The real part of is sometimes known as the Voigt function.
