Abstract

The (anti)self-duality equations for gauge fields in dimensiond=4 and the generalization of these equations ford>4 are considered. The results on solutions of the (anti)self-duality equations ind≥4 are reviewed. Some new classes of solutions of Yang-Mills equations ind≥4 for arbitrary gauge fields are described.
