An analysis of a PT symmetric coupler with “gain in one waveguide and loss in another” is made; a transformation in the PT system and some assumptions results in a scalar cubic Schrödinger equation. We investigate the relationship between the conservation laws and Lie symmetries and investigate a Lagrangian, corresponding Noether symmetries, conserved vectors, and exact solutions via “double reductions.”

We study the invariance, exact solutions, conservation laws, and double reductions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with damping and driving terms. The underlying equation is used to model a variety of resonant phenomena in nonlinear dispersive media, inter alia. For the purpose of our analysis, the complex equation is construed as a system of two real partial differential equations.
