From the Main Equation to the Klein-Gordon Equation

A. BLAQUIt

Published Jan 1, 1979• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to bring out some connections between the work of Isaacs and physics. The first five sections are devoted to classical dynamics. The theories of Hamilton and Jacobi are revisited via the geometrical approach to optimal control and de Bro- glie's ideas. The other sections contain a stochastic-type generalization, leading to the Klein-Gordon equation of relativistic wave mechanics.

Generalization of Hamilton-Jacobi method and its consequences in classical, relativistic, and quantum mechanics

O. Chavoya-Aceves

The Hamilton-Jacobi method is generalized, both, in classical and relativistic mechanics. The implications in quantum mechanics are considered in the case of Klein-Gordon equation. We find that the wave functions of Klein-Gordon theory can be considered as describing the motion of an ensemble of particles that move under the action of the electromagnetic field alone, without quantum potentials, hidden uninterpreted variables, or zero point fields. The number of particles is not locally conserved.

A Variational Formulation for the Relativistic Klein-Gordon Equation

Fabio Botelho

This article develops a variational formulation for the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation.The main results are obtained through a connection between classical and quantum mechanics. Such a connection is established through the definition of normal field and its relation with the wave function concept.

Quantum Mechanics and the Relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi Equation

Lloyd Motz, Adolph Selzer

In this paper, we show that the Klein-Gordon quantum-mechanical operator, operating on the function ${e}^{\frac{\mathrm{iS}}{\ensuremath{\hbar}}}$, where $S$ is the relativistic action of a free particle or of a particle in a field defined by a four vector, is completely equivalent to the relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi equation, provided one takes into account the vanishing of the divergence of the energy-momentum four vector. From this we see that classical relativistic mechanics can be formulated in terms of operators which are identical with those used in quantum mechanics.

A stochastic derivation of the Klein–Gordon equation

William J. Lehr, James L Park

Several years ago Nelson succeeded in deriving the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation within a stochastic model which included Newton’s second law as the fundamental dynamical rule. Unfortunately, the relativistic extension of Nelson’s work is not so straightforward as might at first be supposed. This paper examines the difficulties inherent in such a relativization and proposes supplemental axioms which resolve those difficulties. A stochastic derivation of the Klein–Gordon equation is then presented.

The Extension from Hamilton-Jacobi Equation to Dirac Equation

Zhu Hengjiang

Quantum mechanics and classical mechanics are closely related to each other.The Hamilton-Jacobi Equation of classical mechanics plays an important role in the extension of Schrdinger equation,and it is also a way to extend Schrdinger equation in the teaching of quantum mechanics.Besides,the Hamilton-Jacobi Equation under the theory of relativity can extend Klein-Gordon equation of quantum mechanics of special relativity.Considering and analyzing the differences betweeen Klein-Gordon equation and Dirac Equation further,this paper linearized the Hamilton-Jacobi Equation under the theory of relativity,and extended Dirac Equation which was more important than quantum mechanics of special relativity.It made the route by which Hamilton-Jacobi Equation,as the classical mechanics,goes to quantum mechanics more extensive,and this study further explored the corresponding relationship between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics.

Stochastic Processes in Microphysics in Connection with Relativity

J. C. Aron

The difficulties of extending to relativity the results obtained in a preceding paper are set forth; in particular the relativistic behaviour of the time and length minimal constants brings us to a well-known problem. The proposed views attempt to deal with these equations. They give a relativistic generalization of the classical diffusion theory, from which the Klein-Gordon equation is deduced. Consistent results are obtained by a relativistic survey of Dirac's fluid model. Subsequent investigations have been carried out concerning the character of relativity and the limitation of its validity in microphysics.
