A Family of Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations: Linearizing Transformations and Resulting Structure

  • Chapter

Abstract

We examine a recently proposed family of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with respect to a group of transformations that linearize a subfamily of them. We investigate the structure of the whole family with respect to the linearizing transformations, and propose a new, invariant parameterization.
