Abstract
The classical electrodynamic system of field and a single
point-like source is considered in even-dimensional space-time. The problem
of self-interaction is discussed. It is manifestly shown that all singular
terms appearing in these equations can be regularized. Relations between
formulae for radiation and radiation friction are discussed.
