Abstract
The inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrodinger equation (INLSE) with vanishing boundary conditions is studied using the expansions over the 'squared' solutions of the Zakharov-Shabat system L. The authors stress the importance of the expansions over the so-called symplectic basis, which lead to a system of evolution equations for the scattering data that is easily solved for a generic choice of the inhomogeneity G(x,t). Sufficient (although unexplicit) conditions on G(x,t) are given, which ensure the integrability of the corresponding INLSE. It is known that each INLSE allows a Lax representation, the Lax operator being provided by L. In this respect they report that the corresponding M operator for G not=0 possesses pole singularities located on the spectrum of L. The INLSE occurs in plasma wave interactions.
