  Abstract:
We perform the complete group classification in the class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form iψtxx+|ψ|γψ+V(t,x)ψ = 0 where V is an arbitrary complex-valued potential depending on t and x, γ 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.
