First sentence: The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation arises in various physical contexts in the description of nonlinear waves (Whitham 1974) such as propagation of a laser beam in a medium whose index of refraction is sensitive to the wave amplitude, water waves at the free surface of an ideal fluid, and plasma waves.
