<div>In this paper we present a new criterion for bounded component analysis, a quite new approach for the Blind Source Separation problem. For the determined case, we show that the `1-norm of the estimated sources can be used as a contrast for the problem. We present a blind algorithm for the source separation of independents sources or mixtures of correlated sources by only a rotation matrix. We also present a variety of simulations assessing the performance of the proposed approach.</div>
