Some mathematical problems in a neoclassical theory of electric charges

We study here a number of mathematical problems related to our recently introduced neoclassical theory for the electromagnetic phenomena in which charges are represented by complex valued wave functions as in the Schrodinger wave mechanics. Dynamics of charges in the non-relativistic case is governed by a system of nonlinear Schrodinger equations coupled with the electromagnetic fields, and we prove for it that the centers of wave functions converge in macroscopic regimes to trajectories of points governed by the Newton's equations with the Lorentz forces provided the wave functions remain localized. Exact solutions in the form of localized accelerating solitons are found. Our studies of a class of time multiharmonic solutions of the same field equations show that they satisfy Planck-Einstein relation and that the energy levels of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem for the hydrogen atom converge to the well-known energy levels of the linear Schrodinger operator when the free charge size is much larger than the Bohr radius.
