Closed and approximate solutions to the Schrödinger, Dirac, Klein-Gordon and other equations of quantum mechanics (81Q05)

Abstract: The free Schrodinger equation has constant velocity wavepacket solutions psi_{�f v} of the form psi= f({�f r} - {�f v}t) e^{- i m c^2 t / 2}. These solutions are eigenvectors of a momentum operator {�f ilde p} which is symmetric in a positive definite scalar product space. We discuss whether these psi_{�f v} can act as basis states rather than the usual plane wave solutions.
