Abstract :This paper deals with rectifying curves and their characterization in arbitrary dimensional Lorentz n-space. Considering the structure of a rectifying curve, we give some generalizations of such curves in Lorentz n-space. Moreover, we characterize and prove some properties of these curves in terms of their curvature functions.
