Abstract

The paper considers the possibility of constructing a perturbation theory for problems of quantum electrodynamics, which is based on the wave functions of so-called "dressed" electron, unlike traditional perturbation theory, which uses the wave functions of the "bare" electrons. To investigate the wave functions of the "dressed" electron a numerical investigation of associated Dirac-Maxwell equations was performed in the approximation of small electron pulses. An expression for the energy eigenvalues of the considered self-consistent problem was found in a quasi-classical approximation as well as an estimation of the lifetime of the "dressed" electron and the effective value of the electron charge.
