Annotation
A formula is derived for the nonlinear - damping decrement of Langmuir waves in a weakly turbulent relativistic plasma, and the limit of validity of the corresponding nonrelativistic expression is indicated. The nonrelativistic formula for nonlinear damping applies even at temperatures an order of magnitude lower than the electron rest energy.
