Abstract
By means of an expansion in c−1 (c being the velocity of light) it is shown that the no‐interaction theorem of Currie, Jordan, and Sudarshan is valid only when terms of order of at least c−6 are included. To confirm this result, we derive the most general family of approximate Lagrangians up to order c−4, whose limit is Newtonian.Keywords
