=head1 NAME
cerfcx, erfcx - underflow-compensated complementary error function
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<#include <cerf.h>>
B<double _Complex cerfcx ( double _Complex z );>
B<double erfcx ( double x );>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The function B<cerfcx> is an underflow-compensated variant of the complex error function: erfcx(z) = exp(z^2) erfc(z).
The function B<erfcx> takes a real argument and returns a real result.
=head1 REFERENCES
The implementation of B<cerfcx> is a thin wrapper around Faddeeva's
function B<w_of_z>.
The implementation of B<erfcx> is self-contained. It has been entirely rewritten
for libcerf-2.5, and now guarantees a relative accuracy of 2.34e-16 for x < 12.
The piecewise polynomial approximation for intermediate values of |x| is explained
in Wuttke and Kleinknecht, "Code generation for piecewise Chebyshev approximation"
(submitted; preprint available from the authors).

The real error function comes with recent versions of glibc, as requested by the C99 standard:
