چکیده
We demonstrate that the analytic solution for the set of energy eigenvalues of the semi-relativistic Coulomb problem reported by B. and L. Durand is in clear conflict with an upper bound on the ground-state energy level derived by some straightforward variational procedure.

Analytical solution of the relativistic Coulomb problem with a hard core interaction for a one-dimensional spinless Salpeter equation
In this paper, we construct an analytical solution of the one-dimensional spinless Salpeter equation with a Coulomb potential supplemented by a hard core interaction, which keeps the particle in the x positive region. 03.65.Pm,03.65.Ge Typeset using REVTEX Chercheur I.I.S.N.

متن کاملRelativistic Coulomb problem: Analytic upper bounds on energy levels.
The spinless relativistic Coulomb problem is the bound-state problem for the spinless Salpeter equation (a standard approximation to the Bethe–Salpeter formalism as well as the most simple generalization of the nonrelativistic Schrödinger formalism towards incorporation of relativistic effects) with the Coulomb interaction potential (the static limit of the exchange of some massless bosons, as ...
متن کاملThe One-dimensional Spinless Relativistic Coulomb Problem
Motivated by a recent analysis which presents explicitly the general solution, we consider the eigenvalue problem of the spinless Salpeter equation with a (“hard-core amended”) Coulomb interaction potential in one dimension. We prove the existence of a critical coupling constant (which contradicts the assertions of the previous analysis) and give analytic upper bounds on the energy eigenvalues....
متن کاملSpinless Salpeter Equation: Analytic Results
The spinless Salpeter equation is the combination of relativistic kinematics with some static interaction potential. The nonlocal nature of the Hamiltonian resulting from this approximation renders difficult to obtain rigorous analytic statements on resulting solutions. In view of this unsatisfactory state of affairs, we calculate analytic upper bounds on the involved energy levels, and, for th...
متن کاملAll around the Spinless Salpeter Equation
We review some important topics related to the semirelativistic description of bound states by the spinless Salpeter equation: the special case of the Coulomb interaction, numerical approximation methods, and a way to avoid the problematic square-root operator of the relativistic kinetic energy.
