The general Lie point transformation group and the associated reduced differential equations and similarity forms for the solutions are derived here for the coupled (nonlinear) Vlasov–Maxwell equations in one spatial dimension. The case of one species in a background is shown to admit a larger group than the multi-species case. Previous exact solutions are shown to be special cases of the above solutions, and many of the new solutions are found to constrain the form of the distribution function much more than, for example, the BGK solutions do. The individual generators of the Lie group are used to find the possible subgroups. Finally, a simple physical argument is given to show that the asymptotic solution (t→∞) for a one-species, one-dimensional plasma is one of the general similarity solutions.

In this paper, a new method is introduced to derive the extended natural gradient, which was proposed by Lewicki and Sejnowski in [1]. However, they made their derivation under many approximations, and the proof is also very complicated. To give a more rigors mathematical proof for this gradient, the Lie group invariance property is introduced which makes the proof much easier and straightforward. In addition, an iterative algorithm through Newton's method is also given to estimate the sources efficiently. The results of the experiments confirm the efficiency of the proposed method.
