1: 33.22 Particle Scattering and Atomic and Molecular Spectra
§33.22(iv) Klein–Gordon and Dirac Equations
The motion of a relativistic electron in a Coulomb field, which arises in the theory of the electronic structure of heavy elements (Johnson (2007)), is described by a Dirac equation. …
2: 18.39 Applications in the Physical Sciences
Bound state solutions to the relativistic Dirac Equation, for this same problem of a single electron attracted by a nucleus with Z protons, involve Laguerre polynomials of fractional index. …
3: 1.18 Linear Second Order Differential Operators and Eigenfunction Expansions
of the Dirac delta distribution. Equation (1.18.19) is often called the completeness relation. … Applying the representation (1.17.13), now symmetrized as in (1.17.14), as 1 x δ ( x y ) = 1 x y δ ( x y ) , … These latter results also correspond to use of the δ ( x y ) as defined in (1.17.12_1) and (1.17.12_2). … Thus, and this is a case where q ( x ) is not continuous, if q ( x ) = α δ ( x a ) , α > 0 , there will be an L 2 eigenfunction localized in the vicinity of x = a , with a negative eigenvalue, thus disjoint from the continuous spectrum on [ 0 , ) . …
4: 1.17 Integral and Series Representations of the Dirac Delta
Equations (1.17.12_1) through (1.17.16) may re-interpreted as spectral representations of completeness relations, expressed in terms of Dirac delta distributions, as discussed in §1.18(v), and §1.18(vi) Further mathematical underpinnings are referenced in §1.17(iv). …
5: Mathematical Introduction
These include, for example, multivalued functions of complex variables, for which new definitions of branch points and principal values are supplied (§§1.10(vi), 4.2(i)); the Dirac delta (or delta function), which is introduced in a more readily comprehensible way for mathematicians (§1.17); numerically satisfactory solutions of differential and difference equations (§§2.7(iv), 2.9(i)); and numerical analysis for complex variables (Chapter 3). …
6: 1.16 Distributions
§1.16(iii) Dirac Delta Distribution
The Dirac delta distribution is singular. … As distributions, the last equation reads …
1.16.40 δ ( t ) e i x t d t = 1 ;
Since the quantity on the extreme right of (1.16.41) is equal to 2 π δ , ϕ , as distributions, the result in this equation can be stated as …
