Description
A solution is presented for the outstanding problem of formulating a classical relativistic dynamics for many-particle systems via a Lagrangian. The Fokker-Wheeler-Feynman approach is both modified and generalized to yield a class of model systems, all of which obey causality, have the same physically acceptable properties, and satisfy the Poincare group.
