NAME

6       voigt - Voigt's function, convolution of Gaussian and Lorentzian
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <cerf.h>
10
11       double voigt ( double x, double sigma, double gamma );
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The function voigt returns Voigt's convolution
15
16         voigt(x,sigma,gamma) = integral G(t,sigma) L(x-t,gamma) dt
17
18       of a Gaussian
19
20         G(x,sigma) = 1/sqrt(2*pi)/|sigma| * exp(-x^2/2/sigma^2)
21
22       and a Lorentzian
23
24         L(x,gamma) = |gamma| / pi / ( x^2 + gamma^2 ),
25
26       with the integral extending from -infinity to +infinity.
27
28       If sigma=0, L(x,gamma) is returned. Conversely, if gamma=0, G(x,sigma)
29       is returned.
30
31       If sigma=gamma=0, the return value is Inf for x=0, and 0 for all other
32       x. It is advisable to test input arguments to exclude this irregular
33       case.

REFERENCES

36       Formula (7.4.13) in Abramowitz & Stegun (1964) relates Voigt's
37       convolution integral to Faddeeva's function w_of_z, upon which this
38       implementation is based:
39
40          voigt(x,sigma,gamma) = Re[w(z)] / sqrt(2*pi) / |sigma|
41
42       with
43
44          z = (x+i*|gamma|) / sqrt(2) / |sigma|.
