Algorithm 916: computing the Faddeyeva and Voigt functions

Understand

We present a MATLAB function for the numerical evaluation of the Faddeyeva function w(z).

• The function is based on a newly developed accurate algorithm.
• In addition to its higher accuracy, the software provides a flexible accuracy vs efficiency trade-off through a controlling parameter that may be used to reduce accuracy and computational time and vice versa.
• Verification of the flexibility, reliability and superior accuracy of the algorithm is provided through comparison with standard algorithms available in other libraries and software packages.
