A representation of the Schrödinger and Klein–Gordon equations obtained using simple hyperbolic numbers
Paul Bracken, James Hayes
Abstract
We write the Bohm–Landau wave function in terms of simple hyperbolic numbers and apply this representation to the Schrödinger and Klein–Gordon equations. It is shown that the Schrödinger equation can be separated in one space dimension. The radial part of the wave function and the derivatives of the radial function can be related to the potential and its derivative. We also apply this representation to the Klein–Gordon equation.
