Abstract
We present a summary on the exact solutions to the classical relativis tic equations of motion in the held of a plane electromagnetic wave an d describe a modification of the averaging procedure, which yields equ ations governing the average electron motion in the field of a focused laser pulse when an electron oscillates at relativistic velocity. App lications to the barrier suppression ionization and Thompson radiation are briefly discussed.
