Abstract
In this paper, as suggested by the classical Hamiltonian equations, a new set of corresponding relativistic equations is set up. Therefrom a relativistic form of Heisenberg's equation is obtained. The relativistic Hamiltonian system of a particle according to the formulation here established has been fully discussed and by following it, however, Dirac's equation appears only naturally as a necessary form of relativistic wave equation for electron in quantum mechanics. The process of taking square root in Dirac's theory is seen to have its classical analogy. Finally, some applications of the relativistic Heisenberg's equation to Dirac's theory have been discussed and it has thereby been pointed out that this equation brings some quantities to being more symmetrical in the relativity sense and also some more general than those the non-relativistic equation can give.
