convert/erf_related

convert special functions into erf related functions

 Calling Sequence convert(expr, erf_related)

Parameters

 expr - Maple expression, equation, or a set or list of them

Description

 • convert/erf_related converts, when possible, special functions into erf related functions. The erf related functions are
 > FunctionAdvisor( erf_related );
 The 8 functions in the "erf_related" class are:
 $\left[{\mathrm{FresnelC}}{,}{\mathrm{FresnelS}}{,}{\mathrm{Fresnelf}}{,}{\mathrm{Fresnelg}}{,}{\mathrm{dawson}}{,}{\mathrm{erf}}{,}{\mathrm{erfc}}{,}{\mathrm{erfi}}\right]$ (1)

 > $\mathrm{convert}\left(,\mathrm{erf_related}\right)$
 ${-}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{}\frac{\sqrt{{\mathrm{π}}}{}\left({2}{}{\mathrm{_C2}}{}{z}{}{{ⅇ}}^{{{z}}^{{2}}}{-}{\mathrm{_C1}}\right){}{\mathrm{erf}}{}\left(\sqrt{{{z}}^{{2}}}\right)}{\sqrt{{{z}}^{{2}}}}{+}\frac{{\mathrm{_C2}}{}{z}{}\sqrt{{\mathrm{π}}}{}{{ⅇ}}^{{{z}}^{{2}}}}{\sqrt{{{z}}^{{2}}}}$ (3)
