Abstract. A continued fraction expansion for Dawson's integral is considered and an estimate of the truncation errors of the convergents of this continued fraction is provided. The continued fraction is shown to provide a sequence of rational approximations to the integral which have good convergence for both small and large values of the argument.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
