The conservation of probability says: $$\partial_t J^{0} + \partial{i}J^{i} = 0$$ Use the Schrodinger equation to obtain$$ J^{i} (\vec r)$$. I have no idea where to start this kind of problem because the notation makes no sense to me. I would appreciate a hint or nudge in the correct direction.

If anyone value in an expression is approaching 0, does the entire expression equal 0? So for example, for the limit $\lim_{{z}\to{q}} z ln(z) f(z)$. If $\lim_{{z}\to{q}}f(z) = 0$, then does $\lim_{{z}\to{q}} z ln(z) f(z)$ equal 0?

I don't quite get this question, how is it done ?
