| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| Nonlinear Electrodynamics (NE) was founded almost a century ago and used mainly as a solution to the problem of divergent field of a point charge in the vicinity of its position (see e.g. [1]) also giving satisfactory self-energy of charged particle. The best-known and frequently used form of the theory was introduced already in 1934 by Born and Infeld [2]. Nice overview with a lot of useful information was given in a book by Plebański [3].
There are different models of Nonlinear Electrodynamics • Born-Infeld (BI) theory • Hoffmann-Born-Infeld (HBI) theory • Logarithmic Lagrangian • Power Maxwell • many other models! |
