Summary

Nonlinear integro-differential equations are developed in a straightforward manner which include the self-interaction of charged particles in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The nonlinear terms which are due to the self-interactions can be arbitrarily small for some solutions and it is argued that these are the only solutions encountered in Nature. These nonlinear terms, although arbitrarily small, make the system of equations unstable and correctly account for the spontaneous emission of radiation.

Riassunto

Si sviluppano equazioni integrodifferenziali non lineari in maniera diretta, che includono l'autointerazione di particelle cariche nella meccanica quantica non relativistica. I termini non lineari che sono dovuti alle autointerazioni possono essere arbitrariamente piccoli per alcune soluzioni e si arguisce che queste sono le sole soluzioni che si riscontrano in Natura. Questi termini non lineari, anche se arbitrariamente piccoli, rendono il sistema di equazioni instabile e tengono correttamente conto dell'emissione spontanea di radiazione.
