  English translation of a Russian Ph.D. thesis from 1936. No original
abstract, translator's abstract: The thesis consists of two chapters. In
chapter I, general requirements to be imposed on any nonlinear electrodynamics
and their implementation in the electrodynamics of Born and Infeld are
discussed. In chapter II, within the nonlinear electrodynamics of Born the
propagation of a light wave in the presence of a homogeneous electric or
magnetic field as well as the interaction of two plane light waves in vacuo are
studied. Source details: A. A. Smirnov: Primenenie elektrodinamiki Borna k
