Abstract
The exact exponential Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation operator applicable for a particle with an arbitrary spin is derived. It can be successfully utilized for verifying any Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation method based on the exponential operator. When a verified method is relativistic, the relativistic exponential operator should be expanded in the semirelativistic power series. The use of the obtained exponential operator for a derivation of the Foldy-Wouthuysen Hamiltonian makes it possible to check the validity of any other method of the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation, while this possibility may need a greater computational effort.
