Description

It is shown that, for a point charge immersed in a radiation bath, it is possible to obtain an equation of motion free of runaway solutions or acausality. This equation of motion is an integrodifferential one of the same kind as that for extended charges. It is discussed the limit in which Abraham-Lorentz equation is recovered
