Abstract:
Rational Chebyshev approximations to Dawson’s integral are presented in well-conditioned forms for $|x| \leqq 2.5, 2.5 \leqq |x| \leqq 3.5, 3.5 \leqq |x| \leqq 5.0$ and $5.0 \leqq |x|$. Maximal relative errors range down to between $2 \times {10^{ - 20}}$ and $7 \times {10^{ - 22}}$.References
