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.
