The nonrelativistic limit of the linear wave equation for zero and unity spin bosons of mass m in the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau representation is investigated by means of a unitary transformation, analogous to the Foldy–Wouthuysen canonical transformation for a relativistic electron. The interacting case is also analyzed, by considering a power series expansion of the transformed Hamiltonian, thus demonstrating that all features of particle dynamics can be recovered if corrections of order 1/m2 are taken into account through a recursive iteration procedure.
