Through systematic application of symmetry methods, we: 1) classify all Lie point symmetries of the system, 2) derive exact invariant solutions via symmetry reduction, and 3) construct conserved quantities using Noether¡¯s theorem. The solutions exhibit characteristic propagation at speed b , maintaining relativistic causality through the constraint u¦Ìu¦Ì=-c2. Numerical verification confirms solution stability under appropriate discretization. This work establishes a rigorous mathematical foundation for proper-time electrodynamic systems, with applications to particle acceleration and high-energy astrophysical phenomena. The novelty lies in the application of these methods to the proper-time formulation, revealing new solution structures tied to the relativistic propagation speed b . %K Lie Symmetry Analysis %K Proper-Time Formulation %K Maxwell¡¯s Equations %K Conservation Laws %K Exact Solutions %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/6875250
