Local well-posedness of the fifth-order KdV-type equations on the half-line

This paper is a continuation of authors' previous work \cite{CK2018-1}. We extend the argument \cite{CK2018-1} to fifth-order KdV-type equations with different nonlinearities, in specific, where the scaling argument does not hold. We establish the $X^{s,b}$ nonlinear estimates for $b < \frac12$, which is almost optimal compared to the standard $X^{s,b}$ nonlinear estimates for $b > \frac12$ \cite{CGL2010, JH2009}. As an immediate conclusion, we prove the local well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for fifth-order KdV-type equations on the right half-line and the left half-line.
