Resumen
Assuming that V (x) ≈ (1 − µ) G1(x) + µL1(x) is a very good approximation of the Voigt function, in this work we analytically find µ from mathematical properties of V (x). G1(x) and L1(x) represent a Gaussian and a Lorentzian function, respectively, with the same height and HWHM as V (x), the Voigt function, x being the distance from the fufind that, the Voigt function calculated with the expression we have obtained for µ, deviates from the exact value less than 0.5% with respect to the peak value.
