To the question of a nonrelativistic wave equation for a system of interacting particles

Abstract

It is shown that the Schr\"{o}dinger nonrelativistic equation of a system of interacting particles is not a rigorously nonrelativistic equation since it is based on the implicit assumption of finiteness of the interaction propagation velocity. For a system of interacting particles, a fully nonrelativistic nonlinear system of integro-differential equations is proposed. In the case where the size of the system of particles is of the same order as the Compton wavelength associated with particles, certain essential differences are shown to exist as compared with traditional consequences of the nonrelativistic Schr\"{o}dinger equation.
