  The variational approach to the Hamilton formulation of Yang-Mills theory in
Coulomb gauge developed by the present authors previously is applied to
Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions and is confronted with the existing lattice
data. We show that the resulting Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSE) yield
consistent solutions in 2+1 dimensions only for infrared divergent ghost form
factor and gluon energy. The obtained numerical solutions of the DSE reproduce
the analytic infrared results and are in satisfactory agreement with the
existing lattice date in the whole momentum range.
