    The author considers the relativistic wave equations proposed by \textit{M. Moshinsky} and \textit{Yu. F. Smirnov} [J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 29, No. 18, 6027--6042 (1996; Zbl 0904.35092)]. It is shown, in particular, that for the case of a half-integer spin these equations are hyperbolic, while for the case of an integer spin the hyperbolicity is lost. An algorithm of solving the equations is proposed for the case of particles interacting with a constant magnetic field.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0937.00046].
