The Dawson function, denoted as \\( D(x) \\), is a special function that arises in various fields of mathematics and physics. It is defined as follows: \\\[ D(x) = e^\{-x^2\} \\int_0^x e^\{t^2\} \\, dt \\\] This function is named after the mathematician Dawson, who first studied it in the 19th century.
