37  * Calculate the value of the Faddeeva function @f$w(z) = \exp(-z^2)
38  * \mathrm{erfc}(-i z)@f$.
39  *
40  * The method described in
41  *
42  * S.M. Abrarov, B.M. Quine: "Efficient algotithmic implementation of
43  * Voigt/complex error function based on exponential series approximation"
44  * published in Applied Mathematics and Computation 218 (2011) 1894-1902
45  * doi:10.1016/j.amc.2011.06.072
46  *
47  * is used. At the heart of the method (equation (14) of the paper) is the
48  * following Fourier series based approximation:
49  *
50  * @f[ w(z) \approx \frac{i}{2\sqrt{\pi}}\left(
51  * \sum^N_{n=0} a_n \tau_m\left(
52  * \frac{1-e^{i(n\pi+\tau_m z)}}{n\pi + \tau_m z} -
53  * \frac{1-e^{i(-n\pi+\tau_m z)}}{n\pi - \tau_m z}
54  * \right) - a_0 \frac{1-e^{i \tau_m z}}{z}
55  * \right) @f]
56  *
57  * The coefficients @f$a_b@f$ are given by:
58  *
59  * @f[ a_n=\frac{2\sqrt{\pi}}{\tau_m}
60  * \exp\left(-\frac{n^2\pi^2}{\tau_m^2}\right) @f]
61  *
62  * To achieve machine accuracy in double precision floating point arithmetic
63  * for most of the upper half of the complex plane, chose @f$t_m=12@f$ and
64  * @f$N=23@f$ as is done in the paper.
65  *
66  * There are two complications: For Im(z) negative, the exponent in the
67  * equation above becomes so large that the roundoff in the rest of the
68  * calculation is amplified enough that the result cannot be trusted.
69  * Therefore, for Im(z) < 0, the symmetry of the erfc function under the
70  * transformation z --> -z is used to avoid accuracy issues for Im(z) < 0 by
71  * formulating the problem such that the calculation can be done for Im(z) > 0
72  * where the accuracy of the method is fine, and some postprocessing then
73  * yields the desired final result.
74  *
75  * Second, the denominators in the equation above become singular at
76  * @f$z = n * pi / 12@f$ (for 0 <= n < 24). In a tiny disc around these
77  * points, Taylor expansions are used to overcome that difficulty.
78  *
79  * This routine precomputes everything it can, and tries to write out complex
80  * operations to minimise subroutine calls, e.g. for the multiplication of
81  * complex numbers.
82  *
83  * In the square -8 <= Re(z) <= 8, -8 <= Im(z) <= 8, the routine is accurate
84  * to better than 4e-13 relative, the average relative error is better than
85  * 7e-16. On a modern x86_64 machine, the routine is roughly three times as
86  * fast than the old CERNLIB implementation and offers better accuracy.
87  *
88  * For large @f$|z|@f$, the familiar continued fraction approximation
89  *
90  * @f[ w(z)=\frac{-iz/\sqrt{\pi}}{-z^2+\frac{1/2}{1+\frac{2/2}{-z^2 +
91  * \frac{3/2}{1+\frac{4/2}{-z^2+\frac{5/2}{1+\frac{6/2}{-z^2+\frac{7/2
92  * }{1+\frac{8/2}{-z^2+\frac{9/2}{1+\ldots}}}}}}}}}} @f]
93  *
94  * is used, truncated at the ellipsis ("...") in the formula; for @f$|z| >
95  * 12@f$, @f$Im(z)>0@f$ it will give full double precision at a smaller
96  * computational cost than the method described above. (For @f$|z|>12@f$,
97  * @f$Im(z)<0@f$, the symmetry property @f$w(x-iy)=2e^{-(x+iy)^2-w(x+iy)}@f$
98  * is used.

107  * \mathrm{erfc}(-i z)@f$.
108  *
109  * This is the "fast" version of the faddeeva routine above. Fast means that
110  * is takes roughly half the amount of CPU of the slow version of the
111  * routine, but is a little less accurate.
112  *
113  * To be fast, chose @f$t_m=8@f$ and @f$N=11@f$ which should give accuracies
114  * around 1e-7.
115  *
116  * In the square -8 <= Re(z) <= 8, -8 <= Im(z) <= 8, the routine is accurate
117  * to better than 4e-7 relative, the average relative error is better than
118  * 5e-9. On a modern x86_64 machine, the routine is roughly five times as
119  * fast than the old CERNLIB implementation, or about 30% faster than the
120  * interpolation/lookup table based fast method used previously in RooFit,
121  * and offers better accuracy than the latter (the relative error is roughly
122  * a factor 280 smaller than the old interpolation/table lookup routine).
