Abstract

The Feynman checkerboard problem is an interesting path integral approach to the Dirac equation in `1+1' dimensions. I compare two approaches reported in the literature and show how they may be reconciled. Some physical insights may be gleaned from this approach.

The exact solution of the Feynman checkerboard model is given both in terms of the hypergeometric series and in terms of Jacobi polynomials. It is shown how this leads, in the continuous limit, to the Dirac equation in two-dimensional space-time.
