Acceleration and heating of a relativistic electron beam induced by cascading nonlinear Landau damping involving three or four intense electromagnetic waves in a plasma are investigated theoretically by using relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell equations. It is proved that a relativistic electron beam can be accelerated more effectively by the cascading nonlinear Landau damping than by usual process of two electromagnetic waves. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
