Abstract: We review various attempts to localize the discrete spectra of semirelativistic Hamiltonians of the form H = �eta sqrt{m^2 + p^2} + V(r) (w.l.o.g. in three spatial dimensions) as entering, for instance, in the spinless Salpeter equation. Every Hamiltonian in this class of operators consists of the relativistic kinetic energy �eta sqrt{m^2 + p^2} (where �eta > 0 allows for the possibility of more than one particles of mass m) and a spherically symmetric attractive potential V(r), r = |x|. In general, accurate eigenvalues of a nonlocal Hamiltonian operator can only be found by the use of a numerical approximation procedure. Our main emphasis, however, is on the derivation of rigorous semi-analytical expressions for both upper and lower bounds to the energy levels of such operators. We compare the bounds obtained within different approaches and present relationships existing between the bounds.
