The initial segment problem for two interacting charged particles is studied and errors are corrected in the author's previous paper on this problem. An existenceiuniqueness theorem holds for the forward extension under retarded interaction; a uniqueness theorem holds for the backward extension and

โฆ Synopsis
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 and of mixed advanced and retarded potentials.

## Abstract We continue our study, begun in [7], into the stationary axisymmetric solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations containing two (or more) black holes. This problem reduces to an elliptic system of nonlinear partial differential equations with prescribed blowโup as boundary conditions. W
