We prove a smoothing property for one dimensional time dependent Schrodinge
r equations with potentials which satisfy V(x) similar to C\x\(k) at infini
ty, k > 2. As an application, we show that the initial value problem for ce
rtain nonlinear Schrodinger equations with such potentials is L-2 well-pose
d. We also prove a sharp asymptotic estimate of the L-p-norm of the normali
zed eigenfunctions of H = -Delta + V for large energy.
