In this paper, we study the local-in-time validity of the Hilbert expansion for the relativistic Landau equation. We justify that solutions of the relativistic Landau equation converge to small classical solutions of the limiting relativistic Euler equations as the Knudsen number shrinks to zero in a weighted Sobolev space. The key difficulty comes from the temporal and spatial derivatives of the local Maxwellian, which produce momentum growth terms and are uncontrollable by the standard L 2 -based energy and dissipation. We introduce novel time-dependent weight functions to generate additional dissipation terms to suppress the large momentum. The argument relies on a hierarchy of energy-dissipation structures with or without weights. As far as the authors are aware of, this is the first result of the Hilbert expansion for the Landau-type equation.
