Abstract
The radiation damping terms in the equation of motion of an electron in a curved space are deduced by the method of analytic continuation. This method works in curved space with essentially the same simplicity as in the flat space case. The contrast between the laborious usual procedure and the simplicity of the present one is remarkable.Keywords
