Acceleration and heating of a relativistic electron beam induced by nonlinear Landau damping involving three intense electromagnetic waves in a plasma are investigated theoretically based on kinetic wave equations and transport equations derived from relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell equations. The first and second electromagnetic waves interact nonlinearly with the electron beam satisfying the following well-known resonance condition: {omega}{sub 0} - {omega}{sub 1} - (k{sub 0} - k{sub 1}){center_dot}v{sub b} = 0.
