Abstract:

Previously, the complementary error function and its repeated integrals were given only for small values of the argument. Several new calculation techniques are derived which permit evaluation for the complete range of the argument. Some new values of these functions for large values of the argument are calculated. These values are plotted in such a manner that approximate values can easily be found for all values of x.
