In this paper we study the fifth order Kadomtsev--Petviashvili II (KP--II) equation on the upper half-plane $U=\{(x,y)\in \R^2: y>0\}$. In particular we obtain low regularity local well-posedness using the restricted norm method of Bourgain and the Fourier-Laplace method of solving initial and boundary value problems. Moreover we prove that the nonlinear part of the solution is in a smoother space than the initial data.
In this paper we study the cubic fractional nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) on the torus and on the real line. Combining the normal form and the restricted norm methods we prove that the nonlinear part of the solution is smoother than the initial data. Our method applies to both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities. In the case of full dispersion (NLS) and on the torus, the gain is a full derivative, while on the real line we get a derivative smoothing with an $ε$ loss. Our result lowers the regularity requirement of a recent theorem of Kappeler et al. on the periodic defocusing cubic NLS, and extends it to the focusing case and to the real line. We also obtain estimates on the higher order Sobolev norms of the global smooth solutions in the defocusing case.
