Abstract

We perform the complete group classification in the class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations of the form iψt+ψxx+ψγψ+V(t,x)ψ=0i\psi_t+\psi_{xx}+|\psi|^\gamma\psi+V(t,x)\psi=0 where VV is an arbitrary complex-valued potential depending on tt and x,x, γ\gamma is a real non-zero constant. We construct all the possible inequivalent potentials for which these equations have non-trivial Lie symmetries using a combination of algebraic and compatibility methods. The proposed approach can be applied to solving group classification problems for a number of important classes of differential equations arising in mathematical physics.
