Abstract

Boundary value problems for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the half line in laboratory coordinates are considered. A class of boundary conditions that lead to linearizable problems is identified by introducing appropriate extensions to initial-value problems on the infinite line, either explicitly or by constructing a suitable Bäcklund transformation. Various soliton solutions are explicitly constructed and studied.
