)

Error function for complex argument.

Author

This function calculates a well known error function erf(z) for complex z. The implementation is based on unofficial implementation for Octave. Here is a part of the author's note from original sources:

Put together by John Smith john at arrows dot demon dot co dot uk, using ideas by others.

Calculate erf(z) for complex z. Three methods are implemented; which one is used depends on z.

The code includes some hard coded constants that are intended to give about 14 decimal places of accuracy. This is appropriate for 64-bit floating point numbers.
