Efficient computation of erfc(x) for large arguments.

Efficient computation of erfc(x) for large arguments.

A new, infinite series representation for the error function is developed. It is especially suitable for computing erfc(x) for large x. For instance, for any x⩾4, the error function can be evaluated with a relative error less than 10-10 by using only eight terms. Similarly, the error functio...
