Abstract
A generalization of the Yang-Mills equations is proposed. It is shown that any solution of the Yang-Mills equations (in the Lorentz gauge) is also a solution of the new generalized equation. It is also shown that the generalized equation has solutions that do not satisfy the Yang-Mills equations.
