Abstract
The Landau problem in relativistic plasma is considered in detail. It is shown how all modes in the plasma arise through proper treatment of the inverse Laplace transforms without imposition of any external conditions. A correct derivation of the asymptotic behavior of the electric field is included and estimates of the contribution of more rapidly decaying Landau modes are made analytically and are compared with numerical computations.
