Definition
The imaginary error function is $\operatorname{erfi}(x)=-i\operatorname{erf}(ix)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_0^x e^{t^2}\,\mathrm{d}t$ [4]. This table gives its values at selected nonnegative real arguments.
Parameters
$x$
—   argument ($x\geq0$)
Formulas
(1)
For real $x$, $\operatorname{erf}(x)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_0^x e^{-t^2}\,\mathrm{d}t$, $\operatorname{erfc}(x)=1-\operatorname{erf}(x)$, and $\operatorname{erfi}(x)=-i\operatorname{erf}(ix)$ [4].
(2)
Dawson's integral is $F(x)=e^{-x^2}\int_0^x e^{t^2}\,\mathrm{d}t=(\sqrt{\pi}/2)e^{-x^2}\operatorname{erfi}(x)$ [2].
(3)
The functions $\operatorname{erf}$, $\operatorname{erfi}$, $F$, $S$ and $C$ are odd, and $\operatorname{erfc}(-x)=2-\operatorname{erfc}(x)$.
Comments
(4)
Negative arguments are not listed separately. Values at negative arguments follow from (3).
(5)
At $x=0$ the value is exact, $\operatorname{erfi}(0)=0$, and is stored as the integer rather than as a hundred places of one.
(6)
The positive quadratic-coefficient integral $\int_0^1 e^{a t^2}\,dt=\sqrt\pi\operatorname{erfi}(\sqrt a)/(2\sqrt a)$ selects the square-root arguments. The coefficients $1\leq a\leq9$ form a short exploratory reference family; the finite cutoff is not intrinsic. The direct endpoints $1/2$ and $3/2$ complement the unit anchor in the subunit and crossover regimes. Negative arguments follow by oddness. These choices do not assert a published application for every coefficient. Definitions and the Dawson/error-function relation are in [8].

Data properties
Entries are of type: real number
Table is complete: no (it retains all earlier anchors and covers $x=\sqrt a$ for integers $1\leq a\leq9$, together with $x=1/2,3/2$ and the origin; the quadratic-coefficient family is a bounded exploratory reference, not a dense argument grid)
How they were obtained:

All retained numeric strings, exact values and row annotations are unchanged. The standalone generate.py, balanced_values.py and selection.json reproduce the entire current selection. Each finite Arb enclosure at 733 bits must fit inside the interval claimed by the written last place; a second run uses 912 bits. New nonexact entries have 100 significant digits.

more

Every new entry has an independent mpmath quadrature, closed-form or inverse-function check at 150 and 200 decimal digits, with a nonzero known-integral control. Arguments are exact rationals or propagated balls from exact expressions; root arguments use strict sign-certified rational brackets. Lambert and saddle roots also pass endpoint sign tests on the written last-place interval. The measurements are in coverage-checks.json. Older attachments are retained for provenance; their previous enumerations are historical, and the active enumeration is selection.json.
