Popis: An approach for obtaining a Schrodinger equation for a spinless nonrelativistic particle with a position-dependent mass is proposed. Rather than starting with the nonrelativistic hamiltonian for a free particle, we begin with its relativistic completion in the form of a Klein–Gordon equation and then reduce it to obtain the nonrelativistic limit. This type of procedure avoids the usual ordering ambiguities that commonly arise in obtaining a Schrodinger equation for a particle with position-dependent mass.
