Abstract

The classical electrodynamic system of a field and a single point-like source is considered in even-dimensional spacetime. The problem of self-interaction is discussed. It is manifestly shown that all singular terms appearing in these equations can be regularized. Relations between formulas for radiation and radiation friction are discussed.
