Description
Summary:The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) types of equations play a key role in quantum mechanics, Quantum communication and physical applications. However, how to deal with explicit solutions and other properties of the NLS equations, especially for the variable-coefficient NLS (vc-NLS) types of equations is a difficult problem. In this paper, we construct the form-preserving equivalent transformations (ETs) to transform the vc-NLS systems into constant-coefficient NLS (cc-NLS) systems, and the form-preserving ETs are given explicitly. Then, based on the equivalent transformation method, we deal with the integrability of the NLS equations, and the Lax pairs (LPs) are provided as verification of the integrability.
