Annotation

The behavior of the nonlinear frequency shift and the amplitudes of the second and third harmonics have been studied numerically in the cubic approximation with respect to the wave field for the relativistic Maxwell plasma. The range of applicability of low-temperature asymptotics is indicated for quantities under study. It is found that for waves with a phase velocity close to the velocity of light a good approximation is given by cold hydrodynamics.
