Abstract

We derive the Dirac equation by means of the total derivative of the wave function, where the matrices are replaced by scalar quantities containing the velocity of the particle, avoiding thus the unsatisfactory features arising from the original four-component formulation. The corresponding quadratic equation of the proposed model preserves the extra ?spin? terms.
