Solving nonlinear Schrödinger equation of optical fiber type using inverse scattering transform

The main purpose of this study is to solve the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation of optical fiber type using inverse scattering transform (IST) method. Prior to that, simpler problem on the initial-valued Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is discussed to show how such nonlinear evolution equation...
