Klein–Gordon equation

The Klein–Gordon equation (Klein–Fock–Gordon equation or sometimes Klein–Gordon–Fock equation, in earlier publications Schrödinger–Gordon equation) is a relativistic wave equation, related to the Schrödinger equation. It is named after Oskar Klein and Walter Gordon (and after Vladimir Fock in alternative names). It is second-order in space and time and manifestly Lorentz-covariant. It is a differential equation version of the relativistic energy–momentum relation .
