Abstract
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients is applied to a description of wave processes in inhomogeneous media. The Cauchy problem is considered with initial data from the Schwartz class. Conditions of the conservation of a concentrated solution for all values of time are developed based on the study of the local solvability of this problem. The possibility of the concentrated solution breaking down within a finite period of time is discussed.
