Newton's second law may be used to obtain a wave equation, which reduces to Schrodinger's equation in the nonrelativistic limit and for a conservative force.

Any symmetry reduces a second-order differential equation to a first integral: variational symmetries of the action (exemplified by central field dynamics) lead to conservation laws, but symmetries of only the equations of motion…
