The inversion problem in classical electrodynamics is investigated in great detail in connection with the "Casimir theorem" which states that given all multipoles (both electric and magnetic) of a given charge and current distribution localized in a finite region, the electromagnetic field outside the region will not be sufficient to determine uniquely such a distribution. We wish to determine whether supplementary conditions exist which allow a determination of such distribution. We show that if the system contains only currents and charges (no magnetization) the divergences of the currents will allow such a determination. A similar result holds if the system contains only magnetization (no current and charges). If currents, charges and magnetization are present, then not even the knowledge of the divergences is a sufficient condition for such a determination.

Krein's sufficient condition for indeterminacy states that a positive measure on the real line, having moments of all orders, is indeterminate provided it has density with respect to Lebesgue measure and that this density has a finite logarithmic integral. We generalize this result and we also give
The problem of two interacting charged particles in three dimensions, including effects of radiation reaction, is formulated abstractly and an existence/uniqueness theorem is proved for a suitable "initial segment problem." The delay-differential equations are treated in the cases of pure retarded a
