- *
- *     erfc(x) =  1-erf(x)
- *
- * Method:
- *      1. Reduce x to |x| by erf(-x) = -erf(x)
- *	2. For x in [0, 0.84375]
- *	    erf(x)  = x + x*P(x^2)

- *              P =  P(x ) = (p0 + p1 * x + p2 * x + ... + p10 * x  )

- *
- *						 -56.45
- *			| P - (erf(x)-x)/x | <= 2
- *	
- *
- *	   Remark. The formula is derived by noting
- *          erf(x) = (2/sqrt(pi))*(x - x^3/3 + x^5/10 - x^7/42 + ....)
- *	   and that
- *          2/sqrt(pi) = 1.128379167095512573896158903121545171688
- *	   is close to one. The interval is chosen because the fixed
- *	   point of erf(x) is near 0.6174 (i.e., erf(x)=x when x is
- *	   near 0.6174), and by some experiment, 0.84375 is chosen to
- * 	   guarantee the error is less than one ulp for erf.
- *
- *      3. For x in [0.84375,1.25], let s = x - 1, and
- *         c = 0.84506291151 rounded to single (24 bits)
- *         	erf(x)  = c  + P1(s)/Q1(s)
- *         	erfc(x) = (1-c)  - P1(s)/Q1(s)
- *         	|P1/Q1 - (erf(x)-c)| <= 2**-59.06
- *	   Remark: here we use the taylor series expansion at x=1.
- *		erf(1+s) = erf(1) + s*Poly(s)
- *			 = 0.845.. + P1(s)/Q1(s)
- *	   That is, we use rational approximation to approximate
- *			erf(1+s) - (c = (single)0.84506291151)
- *	   Note that |P1/Q1|< 0.078 for x in [0.84375,1.25]
- *	   where 
- *		P1(s) = degree 6 poly in s
- *		Q1(s) = degree 6 poly in s
- *
- *	4. For x in [1.25, 2]; [2, 4]
- *         	erf(x)  = 1.0 - tiny
- *		erfc(x)	= (1/x)exp(-x*x-(.5*log(pi) -.5z + R(z)/S(z))
- *
- *	Where z = 1/(x*x), R is degree 9, and S is degree 3;
- *	
- *      5. For x in [4,28]
- *         	erf(x)  = 1.0 - tiny
- *		erfc(x)	= (1/x)exp(-x*x-(.5*log(pi)+eps + zP(z))
- *
- *	Where P is degree 14 polynomial in 1/(x*x).
- *
- *      Notes:
- *	   Here 4 and 5 make use of the asymptotic series
- *			  exp(-x*x)
- *		erfc(x) ~ ---------- * ( 1 + Poly(1/x^2) );
- *			  x*sqrt(pi)
- *
- *		where for z = 1/(x*x)
- *		P(z) ~ z/2*(-1 + z*3/2*(1 + z*5/2*(-1 + z*7/2*(1 +...))))
- *
- *	   Thus we use rational approximation to approximate
- *              erfc*x*exp(x*x) ~ 1/sqrt(pi);
- *
- *		The error bound for the target function, G(z) for
- *		the interval
- *		[4, 28]:
- * 		|eps + 1/(z)P(z) - G(z)| < 2**(-56.61)
- *		for [2, 4]:
- *      	|R(z)/S(z) - G(z)|	 < 2**(-58.24)
- *		for [1.25, 2]:
- *		|R(z)/S(z) - G(z)|	 < 2**(-58.12)
- *
- *      6. For inf > x >= 28
- *         	erf(x)  = 1 - tiny  (raise inexact)
- *         	erfc(x) = tiny*tiny (raise underflow)
- *
- *      7. Special cases:
- *         	erf(0)  = 0, erf(inf)  = 1, erf(-inf) = -1,
- *         	erfc(0) = 1, erfc(inf) = 0, erfc(-inf) = 2, 
- *	   	erfc/erf(NaN) is NaN
