61. The conserved quantities of the kinetic equation (Ek, Nk, Pk) refer to the averages of the corresponding quantities defined through the NLS equation, i.e., Ek = E, Pk = P, and Nk = N. However, to avoid cumbersome notations we shall note Ek =E, Nk =N, Pk =P. Also note that the frequency integrals refer to - ωc + ωc dω, where ωc =π m0 / T0 is the numerical frequency cutoff, with m0 being the number of points used in the numerical simulation.
62. The NLS equation conserves H=E+U and not E. However, in the incoherent regime, | U/E | 1, the NLS equation conserves E in average. If the initial condition refers to a continuous wave, the condition | U/E | 1 is not verified at the beginning of the propagation. Nevertheless, to evaluate the energy at equilibrium Eeq, one may observe that the kinetic energy does not contribute to a continuous wave, so that H/ T0 = γ 2 | ψ0 | 4, with ψ0 being the continuous-wave amplitude. On the other hand, at equilibrium the nonlinear contribution is given by the random-phase approximation (|ψ| 4 =2 |ψ| 2 2), so that H/ T0 = Eeq / T0 +γ (N/ T0) 2. Since H is conserved, the value of the kinetic energy at equilibrium is thus given by the initial continuous-wave power, Eeq / T0 =- γ 2 (N/ T0) 2.

64. Note that the maximum gain frequencies associated with modulational instability also propagate with the same group velocity. Here, the condition of matching of vg (ω1,2) with the average velocity of the field [Eqs. 8 9] has a thermodynamic origin and it leads to a couple of frequencies (ω1, ω2) different from the modulational instability frequencies, as clearly evidenced in Fig. 1.

72. Considering a parabolic dispersion relation, k (ω) = 1 2 β2 ω2, one readily obtains P=N k′ (ω) / β2, with k′ (ω) = 1/ vg (ω).
