Examples
Considering only homogeneous broadening affecting an atomic or molecular resonance, the spectral line shape function is described as a Lorentzian distribution : where is the full width at half maximum or FWHM bandwidth.
For instance, the use of B-splines for fitting single Lorentzian and Gaussian curves has been investigated.
Formalizing this idea leads to definitions such as the following, taken from Matt Visser's Lorentzian Wormholes.
In the Lorentzian case, one can then obtain relativistic interval conservation and a certain finite limiting speed.
