In this paper we study the Gevrey smoothing effect of solutions to the non-cutoff spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation for soft potential. We consider the mild singularity case s<1/2 as we did in the previous work for spatially homogeneous case (J. Diff. Equ. 253(4) (2012), 1172-1190. DOI: 10.1016/j.jde.2012.04.023) and for spatially inhomogeneous case (arXiv:1304.2971), and try to extend the range of γ. We derive a new coercivity estimate for collision operator, using which we can obtain the Gevrey regularity for γ∈ (-5/2,0) improving the previous assumption γ∈ (-1-2s,0). Besides, we consider γ and s separately instead of viewing γ+2s as one untied quantity.
