The theory of point-particles in classical electrodynamics has a well-known problem of infinite self-energy, and the same is true of quantum electrodynamics. Instead of concluding that there is no such thing as a true point-particle, it is…

A compact object moving in curved spacetime interacts with its own gravitational field. This leads to both dissipative and conservative corrections to the motion, which can be interpreted as a self-force acting on the object. The original…

The weak form of the SDOF and MDOF equations of motion are obtained. The original initial conditions problem is transformed into a boundary value problem. The boundary value problem is then solved and transformed back to the initial…
The radiation-reaction problem in classical electrodynamics has long resisted a consistent solution: the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation admits runaways and pre-acceleration, while the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation avoids these pathologies…

Nearly all field theories suffer from singularities when particles are introduced. This is true in both classical and quantum physics. Classical field singularities result in the notorious self-force problem, where it is unknown how the…
