This article relies heavily on Griffith's discussion, but he has a footnote to an article (Rohrlich's, in American Journal of Physics) which discusses Yaghjian's solution. He has an entire book on it, Relativistic Dynamics of a Charged Sphere: Updating the Lorentz-Abraham Model, which explains this as an implicit adiabatic assumption in the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac generalization of this equation.
- This discussion doesn't appear to be neutral. Unless Yaghjian's soultion is widely accepted by physicists I don't think it should be calimed that this is the correct solution.
The "Abraham" in Abraham-Lorentz stands for Max Abraham, a German Physicist who is linked in the See Also section.
