Some mathematical aspects of the correspondence between the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger equation and the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation

A review of the recent studies on the correspondence between a wide family of the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger equations and a wide family of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations is presented. It was constructed some years ago within the framework of a recently-developed approach based on the Madelung's fluid representation of the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger equation. The present analysis extends the former approach, developed for nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a nonlinear term proportional to a multiplicative operator, to the cases of derivative operators and the ones corresponding to cylindrical nonlinear Schroedinger equations.
