Section G.2: Description of the programs Descriptions are given of each of the five computer algebra programs written by the author: what they do, how they do it, and why they were written in the first place. Section G.3: Running the programs Detailed instructions are given for running the five ANSI C programs written by the author, and viewing the output, on one’s local computer system. (Needless to say, the programs are only included in digital copies of this thesis.) Section G.4: kinemats: Kinematical quantities Herein is the full-LaT E Xed output of the program kinemats, which computes various kinematical quantities required in this thesis. This section serves as an appendix in its own right: much reference material is contained here that is not listed elsewhere. The fact that this section was in fact written by a computer, and not a human, should be ignored: the author has “written through” the C code with explanatory text, so as to make the output understandable. (To watch this section being written before your very eyes, refer to Section G.3.) Section G.5: retfield: Retarded fields As with the previous section, this section contains the fully LaT E Xed output of the program retfield, which verifies the explicit retarded field expressions obtained by the author in Chapter 5. The material in this section is not, however, of great reference value—the main purpose of the program being the verification of manually-computed 35
esults, not the establishment of new results. Section G.6: radreact: Radiation reaction This section contains the fully LaT E Xed output of the program radreact, the most complex program of the five written by the author for this thesis. It verifies the pointlike particle trajectory parametrisation of Chapter 2, and the relativistically rigid body constituent trajectories of Chapter 3. It then uses the results of the program retfield to compute the self-fields generated by an infinitesimal relativistically rigid body. From these expressions, the radiation reaction self-interaction equations of motion are obtained. As with Section G.4, the contents of this section serve as an appendix in their own right: much material contained here is not fully listed anywhere else. Again, although this section was written by a computer, the author’s parenthood is manifest. Section G.7: test3int: Testing of 3-d integrations This section contains a copy of the ASCII text output of the program test- 3int, which verifies explicitly the correct functioning of the 3-d integration routines used in the program radreact. Section G.8: checkrs: Checking of inner integrals This section contains a copy of the ASCII text output of the small program checkrs, which performs a rudimentary numerical integration used to explicitly verify the integrity of the inner (r s ) integral results, derived analytically in Chapter 6. 36
