We prove the local existence of smooth solutions for the Vlasov-Maxwell equations in three space variables. The existence time for such solutions is independent of the light velocity c. Then we derive regularity results for both the Vlasov-Poisson and the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. The last part of the paper is devoted to a proof of weak and strong convergence of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations towards the Vlasov-Poisson equations, when the light velocity c goes to infinity.
