Highlights

The complex error function, commonly known as the Faddeeva function, can be defined as (Faddeeva & Terent’ev, 1961; Armstrong 1967; Gautschi, 1970; Abramowitz & Stegun, 1972)z w (z) = e−z2 1 + 2i √ π et2 dt, (1)where z = x + iy is the complex argument
In this work we show how to perform a rapid computation of the Voigt/complex error over a single domain by vectorized interpolation
This approach enables us to cover the entire set of the parameters x, y ∈ R required for the HITRANbased spectroscopic applications

Summary

Introduction

The complex error function, commonly known as the Faddeeva function, can be defined as (Faddeeva & Terent’ev, 1961; Armstrong 1967; Gautschi, 1970; Abramowitz & Stegun, 1972). The run-time test we performed shows that for the set of input numbers {x, y ∈ R: |x| + y ≤ 15} this two-domain scheme is faster in performance by a factor about 2 as compared to that of reported in (Schreier, 2018) (we used the MATLAB codes built on approximations (4) and (6)) This is possible to achieve since interpolation utilizes a simple cubic spline instead of a rational function of high order. This fact strongly motivated us to develop further an algorithm based on a vectorized interpolation for rapid computation of the Voigt/complex error function with accuracy that meets the requirement for the HITRAN spectroscopic applications (Hill et al, 2016). To the best of our knowledge, this method of computation of the Voigt/complex error function is new and has never been reported in scientific literature
