.Modelica.Math.Special.erf

Information

Syntax

Special.erf(u);

Description

This function computes the error function erf(u) = 2/sqrt(pi)*Integral_0_u exp(-t^2)*dt numerically with a relative precision of about 1e-15. The implementation utilizes the formulation of the Boost library (53-bit implementation of erf.hpp, developed by John Maddock). Plot of the function:

Example

erf(0)    // = 0
erf(10)   // = 1
erf(0.5)  // = 0.520499877813047
