The variational method in quantum mechanics plays a crucial role in estimating upper bound values of eigenenergies, particularly in the efficient determination of ground state energies. This paper introduces a formalism for the calculation of ground state energies in relativistic quantum systems employing the variational method. The proposed approach is applied to specific physical systems, allowing us to evaluate its effectiveness. Furthermore, we compare the results obtained through this method with existing literature, shedding light on its accuracy and applicability in the context of relativistic quantum systems.
