=head1 NAME

cdawson, dawson - Dawson's integral

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<#include <cerf.h>>

B<double _Complex cdawson ( double _Complex z );>

B<double          dawson  ( double x );>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The function B<cdawson> returns Dawson's integral D(z) = exp(-z^2) integral from 0 to z exp(t^2) dt = sqrt(pi)/2  *  exp(-z^2) * erfi(z).

For function B<dawson> takes a real argument x, and returns the real result D(x).

=head1 SEE ALSO

The computation of D(z) is based on Faddeeva's function B<w_of_z>(3); to compute D(x), the imaginary part B<im_w_of_x>(3) is used.

Other complex error functions: B<w_of_z>(3), B<voigt>(3), B<cerf>(3), B<erfcx>(3), B<erfi>(3).
