Bound states of spatially dependent mass Dirac equation with the Eckart   potential including Coulomb tensor interaction
  We investigate the approximate solutions of the Dirac equation with the position-dependent mass particle in the Eckart potential field including the Coulomb tensor interaction by using the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method. Taking an appropriate approximation to deal with the centrifugal term, the Dirac energy states and the corresponding normalized two-spinor components of the wave function are obtained in closed form. Some special cases of our solution are investigated. Furthermore, we present the correct solutions obtained via the asymptotic iteration method which are in agreement with the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method results.
