Description
The relativistic one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation can be exactly solved for a certain class of potentials. But the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation is not necessarily solvable for the same potentials. It may be possible to obtain approximate solutions for the inexact nonrelativistic potential from the relativistic exact solutions by systematically removing relativistic portion. We search for the possibility with the harmonic oscillator potential and the Coulomb potential, both of which can be exactly solvable nonrelativistically and relativistically. Though a rigorous algebraic approach is not deduced yet, it is found that the relativistic exact solutions can be a good starting point for obtaining the nonrelativistic solutions.
