Extract

The attempt to find reciprocal wave functions made in Part II led to some difficulties. We believe that these were due to an incorrect definition of the relativistic scalar product and Fourier coefficient. We shall show in this paper that a modification of these definitions leads to simpler equations, which allow us to determine the reciprocal wave functions and to find a transcendental equation for μ = aε/k, as was envisaged in Part I.
