Abstract

We shall study the electromagnetic two-body problem by considering ALL minimizers to the action integral, thus incorporating trajectories with discontinuous velocities (henceforth broken minimizers). These broken minimizers are necessary both to solve the boundary-value problem with arbitrary boundary data AND to describe orbits with vanishing far-fields defined almost everywhere. Besides continuing the numerical study of orbits with discontinuous velocities, this project includes an extra focus on the generalisation of the action integral to a Stieltjes integral. (AU)
