dawson(3)

NAME
cdawson, dawson - Dawson's integral

SYNOPSIS
#include <cerf.h>

double _Complex cdawson ( double _Complex z );

double dawson ( double x );

DESCRIPTION
The function cdawson returns Dawson's integral D(z) = exp(-z^2) integral from 0 to z exp(t^2) dt = sqrt(pi)/2 * exp(-z^2) * erfi(z).

For function dawson takes a real argument x, and returns the real result D(x).

REFERENCES
The computation of D(z) is based on Faddeeva's function w_of_z; to compute D(x), the imaginary part im_w_of_x is used.
