Classical Electrodynamic Equations of Motion with Radiative Reaction

The current status of classical description of radiating bodies is summarized and classical equations of motion are presented for the motion of charged bodies. The general physical solutions for the case of force as an explicit function of time and the exact solutions for many different force fields are given for relativistic, nonrelativistic, one-dimensional, and three- dimensional motion. It is concluded that these equations provide an exact classical description of a radiating body. (D.L.C.)
