Abstract: The coupled Maxwell-Lorentz system describes feed-back action of electromagnetic fields in classical electrodynamics. When applied to point-charge sources (viewed as limiting cases of charged fluids) the resulting nonlinear weakly hyperbolic system lies beyond the scope of classical distribution theory. Using regularized derivatives in the framework of Colombeau algebras of generalized functions we analyze a two-dimensional analogue of the Maxwell-Lorentz system. After establishing existence and uniqueness of solutions in this setting we derive some results on distributional limits of solutions with

Review text

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mathematical structure of the coupled Maxwell-Lorentz system by means of a low-dimensional ``toy model which displays some of the main features of the general problem. To this end the authors develop a \((1+1)\)-dimensional model of self-interacting charges which will provide the basis of their further investigations. Since the model equations are nonlinear, of evolution type, and involve singular initial data the authors use the formalism of regularized derivatives in Colombeau algebras of generalized functions. The authors obtain existence and uniqueness result in this framework.
