Space plasmas are weakly collisional since characteristic time scales related to Coulomb collisions are much larger than those of Larmor gyration or wave--particle interactions. Thus, wave activity is likely to drive some of the non-thermal…

An application of approximate transformation groups to study dynamics of a system with distinct time scales is discussed. The utilization of the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky method of averaging to find solutions of the Lie equations is…
