The aim of this project is to present in details the results of a paper published in 1986 by Robert Glassey and Walter Strauss. In that paper, a sufficient condition for the global existence of a smooth solution to the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system is derived. In the following, the resulting theorem is proved by taking initial data \"\", \"\". A small data global existence result is presented as well. %K Maxwell Equation %K Vlasov Equation %K Existence and Uniqueness %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=82079
