Abstract

We perform the complete group classification in the class of cubic Schr\"odinger equations of the form iψt+ψxx+ψ2ψ+V(t,x)ψ=0i\psi_t+\psi_{xx}+\psi^2\psi^*+V(t,x)\psi=0 where VV is an arbitrary complex-valued potential depending on tt and xx. We construct all possible inequivalent potentials for which these equations have non-trivial Lie symmetries using algebraic and compatibility methods simultaneously. Our classification essentially amends earlier works on the subject.
