Abstract

We obtain a rational approximation of the Voigt/complex error function by Fourier expansion of the exponential function e(t−2σ)2 and present master-slave algorithm for its efficient computation. The error analysis shows that at y>10−5 the computed values match with highly accurate references up to the last decimal digits. The common problem that occurs at y→0 is effectively resolved by main and supplementary approximations running computation flow in a master-slave mode. Since the proposed approximation is rational function, it can be implemented in a rapid algorithm.
