For ψ=e−iEtf(x) with real f, the defocusing equation iψt​+ψxx​−2∣ψ∣2ψ=0 has first integral
(f′)2=f4−Ef2.

A nonzero smooth function tending to zero at both infinities cannot satisfy this identity: a nonzero extremum requires f2=E>0, but then the right side is negative for sufficiently small nonzero f.
