Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0519.00009.]
The two-body problem of classical electrodynamics can be modeled with a system of functional differential equations of neutral type. The delays arise from the finite speed of propagation of electromagnetic effects, and hence depend on the (unknown) trajectories. A satisfactory existence and uniqueness theorem is obtained. The proof will appear elsewhere.
