Sharp well--posedness for the generalized KdV of order three on the half line

In this paper we study the generalized Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation with the nonlinear term of order three: $(u^{ 3+1})_x$. We prove sharp local well--posedness for the initial and boundary value problem posed on the right half line. We thus close the gap in the well--posedness theory of the generalized KdV which remained open after the seminal work of Colliander and Kenig in \cite{ CK}.
