The classical electrodynamic two-body problem has been a long standing open problem in mathematics. For motion constrained to the straight line, the interaction is similar to that of the two-body problem of classical gravitation. The…
We rigorously construct a variety of orbits for certain delay differential equations, including the electrodynamic equations formulated by Wheeler and Feynman in 1949. These equations involve delays and advances that depend on the…
We propose a general technique to solve the classical many-body problem with radiative damping. We modify the short-distance structure of Maxwell electrodynamics. This allows us to avoid runaway solutions as if we had a covariant model of…
It is demonstrated how all the mechanical equations of classical electrodynamics (CEM) may be derived from only Coulomb's inverse square force law, special relativity and Hamilton's Principle. The instantaneous nature of the Coulomb force…
The self-force problem of classical electrodynamics has two closely linked facets: The ill defined dynamics of a point charge due to the divergent self field at the position of the charge, and the divergence of formally conserved…
In the de Broglie - Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics, the electron is stationary in the ground state of the hydrogen atom, because the quantum force exactly cancels the Coulomb attraction of the electron to the proton. In this paper it…
We reduce two-body problem to the one-body problem in general case of deformed Heisenberg algebra leading to minimal length.Two-body problems with delta and Coulomb-like interactions are solved exactly. We obtain analytical expression for…

We formulate the 2-body problem of electrodynamics using functional differential equations, and explain the peculiar features of these equations which indicate a paradigm shift in physics. We examine the possible empirical existence of…

The quantum mechanical many-body problem is rarely analytically solvable. One notable exception is the case of two electrons interacting via a Coulomb potential in a uniform magnetic field. The motion is confined to a two-dimensional plane,…
A derivation of pilot waves from electrodynamic self-interactions is presented. For this purpose, we abandon the current paradigm that describes electrodynamic bodies as point masses. Beginning with the Li\'enard-Wiechert potentials, and…
In this work we give a comprehensive derivation of an exact and numerically feasible method to perform ab-initio calculations of quantum particles interacting with a quantized electromagnetic field. We present a hierachy of…
It is argued that, contrary to conventional wisdom, no trustworthy universal self-force/radiative corrections to the Lorentz force equation, can be derived from the basic tenets of classical electrodynamics. This concords with the apparent…
Motivated by the long-debated question about the internal stability of the electron, the force densities acting on the charge density of the 1s electron in the H atom are investigated. The problem is mapped onto the canonical formalism for…
It is suggested that an understanding of blackbody radiation within classical physics requires the presence of classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation, the restriction to relativistic (Coulomb) scattering systems, and the use of…
The equations for the electromagnetic two-body problem are neutral-delay equations that for generic initial data have solutions with discontinuous derivatives. If one wants to use these neutral-delay equations with arbitrary initial data,…
While he derived the equation for the radiation force, Dirac (1938) mentioned a possibility to use different choices for the 4-momentum of an emitting electron. Particularly, the 4-momentum could be non-colinear to the electron 4-velocity.…
