function (non-elementary) of sigmoid shape that occurs in probability, statistics, and partial differential equations describing diffusion. It is defined as:[1][2] erf ( x ) = 1 π ∫ − x x e − t 2 d t = 2 π ∫ 0 x e − t 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_error_function d t . {\displaystyle {\begin − 6\operatorname − 5 (x)&={\frac − 4{\sqrt {\pi }}}\int _{-x}^ − http://mathworld.wolfram.com/InverseErf.html 3e^{-t^ − 2}\,\mathrm − 1 t\\&={\frac − 0{\sqrt {\pi }}}\int _ 9^ 8e^{-t^ 7}\,\mathrm 6 t.\end 5}} The complementary error function, denoted erfc, is defined as erfc ( x ) = 1 − erf ( x ) = 2 π ∫ x ∞ e − t 2 d t = e − x 2 erfcx ( x ) error function , {\displaystyle {\begin 2\operatorname 1 (x)&=1-\operatorname 0 (x)\\&={\frac Φ 9{\sqrt {\pi }}}\int _ Φ 8^{\infty }e^{-t^ Φ 7}\,\mathrm Φ 6 t\\&=e^{-x^ Φ 5}\operatorname Φ 4 (x),\end Φ 3}} which also defines erfcx, the scaled complementary error function[3] (which can be used instead of erfc to avoid arithmetic underflow[3][4]). Another form of erfc ( x ) {\displaystyle \operatorname 2 (x)} for non-negative x {\displaystyle x} is known as Craig's formula:[5] erfc ( x | x ≥ 0 error function in ) = 2 π ∫ 0 π / 2 exp ( − x 2 sin 2 θ ) d θ . {\displaystyle \operatorname 0 (x|x\geq 0)={\frac Φ 9{\pi }}\int _ Φ 8^{\pi /2}\exp \left(-{\frac Φ 7}{\sin ^ Φ 6\theta }}\right)d\theta \,.} The imaginary error function, denoted erfi, is defined as erfi ( x ) = − i erf ( i x ) = 2 π ∫ 0 x e t 2 d t = 2 π e x 2 D ( x ) , {\displaystyle {\begin Φ 0\operatorname − 9 (x)&=-i\operatorname − 8 (ix)\\&={\frac − 7{\sqrt {\pi }}}\int _ − 6^ − 5e^ − 4}\,\mathrm − 3 t\\&={\frac − 2{\sqrt {\pi }}}e^ − 1}D(x),\end − 0}} where D(x) is the Dawson function (which can be used instead of erfi to avoid arithmetic overflow[3]). Despite the name "imaginary error function", erfi ( x ) {\displaystyle \operatorname 8 (x)} is real when x is real. When the error function is evaluated for arbitrary complex arguments z, the resulting complex error function is usually discussed in scaled form as the Faddeeva function: w ( z ) = e − z 2 erfc ( − i z ) = erfcx ( − i z ) . {\displaystyle w(z)=e^{-z^ 6}\operatorname 5 (-iz)=\operatorname 4 (-iz).} Contents 1 The name "error function" 2 Properties 2.1 Taylor series 2.2 Derivative and integral 2.3 Bürmann series 2.4 Inverse functions 2.5

It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as InverseErf[x]. It is an odd function since (3) It has the special values (4) (5) (6) It is apparently not known if (7) (OEIS A069286) can be written in closed form. It satisfies the equation (8) where is the inverse erfc function. It has the derivative (9) and its integral is (10) (which follows from the method of Parker 1955). Definite integrals are given by (11) (12) (13) (14) (OEIS A087197 and A114864), where is the Euler-Mascheroni constant and is the natural logarithm of 2. The Maclaurin series of is given by (15) (OEIS A002067 and A007019). Written in simplified form so that the coefficient of is 1, (16) (OEIS A092676 and A092677). The th coefficient of this series can be computed as (17) where is given by the recurrence equation (18) with initial condition .
