Abstract

Extract solutions are given of the relativistic non-linear equations of motion for both the momentum and displacement of a charged particle which is injected with given momentum into an arbitrary number of intense electromagnetic waves of any polarization and frequency (including zero) which propagate along a uniform electrostatic field with the speed of light.
