摘要：
An equation of motion (EOM) is proposed for the electron which includes the effect of the radiation field on the electron's motion. The new EOM - the electron-photon EOM (EPEOM) - is the same as Dirac's equation with the 'bare' or mechanical mass replaced by a complex electromagnetic mass whose real part is interpreted as the observed mass of the electron. The Lamb shift is calculated from the difference of the EPEOM energy and the Dirac-equation energy.
