Hastings (1955) gives several minimax polynomial and rational approximations for $\mathrm{erf}x$, $\mathrm{erfc}x$ and the auxiliary functions $\mathrm{f}\left(x\right)$ and $\mathrm{g}\left(x\right)$.

Cody (1969) provides minimax rational approximations for $\mathrm{erf}x$ and $\mathrm{erfc}x$. The maximum relative precision is about 20S.

Cody (1968) gives minimax rational approximations for the Fresnel integrals (maximum relative precision 19S); for a Fortran algorithm and comments see Snyder (1993).

Cody et al. (1970) gives minimax rational approximations to Dawson’s integral $F\left(x\right)$ (maximum relative precision 20S–22S).

Luke (1969b, pp. 323–324) covers $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\pi }\mathrm{erf}x$ and ${\mathrm{e}}^{x^2}F\left(x\right)$ for $-3\le x\le 3$ (the Chebyshev coefficients are given to 20D); $\sqrt{\pi }x{\mathrm{e}}^{x^2}\mathrm{erfc}x$ and $2xF\left(x\right)$ for $x\ge 3$ (the Chebyshev coefficients are given to 20D and 15D, respectively). Coefficients for the Fresnel integrals are given on pp. 328–330 (20D).

Bulirsch (1967) provides Chebyshev coefficients for the auxiliary functions $\mathrm{f}\left(x\right)$ and $\mathrm{g}\left(x\right)$ for $x\ge 3$ (15D).

Schonfelder (1978) gives coefficients of Chebyshev expansions for $x^{-1}\mathrm{erf}x$ on $0\le x\le 2$, for $x{\mathrm{e}}^{x^2}\mathrm{erfc}x$ on $[2,\mathrm{\infty })$, and for ${\mathrm{e}}^{x^2}\mathrm{erfc}x$ on $[0,\mathrm{\infty })$ (30D).

Shepherd and Laframboise (1981) gives coefficients of Chebyshev series for $(1+2x){\mathrm{e}}^{x^2}\mathrm{erfc}x$ on $(0,\mathrm{\infty })$ (22D).

Luke (1969b, vol. 2, pp. 422–435) gives main diagonal Padé approximations for $F\left(z\right)$, $\mathrm{erf}z$, $\mathrm{erfc}z$, $C\left(z\right)$, and $S\left(z\right)$; approximate errors are given for a selection of $z$-values.
