The authors construct mathematical formulations for the radio emission of pulsars with rotating neutron stars from the standpoint of simulation of magnetospheric plasmas and the production and interaction of photons and electron-positron pairs. Equations are derived for the dielectric permittivity and also the electrodynamic behavior of a relativistic electron-positron plasma in a curvilinear magnetic field. Wave propagation, dispersion relations, and hydrodynamic instabilities are included in the models.
