The glide of a single edge dislocation in an elastic field of point defects randomly distributed over a crystal was investigated taking into account the influence of the phonon sub-system of the crystal. The force of retardation of the dislocation motion was calculated, and the velocities at which this force has a local maximum and a local minimum were determined. A comparative analysis of the glide of a single dislocation and the glide of a pair of edge dislocations was performed.
