Abstract

We rigorously approach the Schrödinger equation of derivative type qt + iqxx + λ |q|2qx + μq2x = 0, λ ∈ R, μ ∈ C, by the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation AT + i AXX + i k0 (λ − μ) |A|2A = 0. We also study the case of the KdV-like equation qt + i qxx + aqxxx + i |q|2q + λ̃ (|q|2q)x + μ̃ |q|2qx = 0, λ̃ μ̃ ∈ R, arising in optical physics.
