Poemas de Kim Keun
Kim Keun (1973). Gochang, Corea del Sur. Ganador del premio Munhakdongne de Nuevo Escritor. Publicó el libro de poemas Las excursiones del niño serpiente, y Nos vemos en el cine nube. La poesía de Kim surge, en buena medida, del trabajo que el autor hace a partir del dialecto de la provincia de Gochang, de la que es originario. La obra de Kim emerge de un imaginario en ocasiones sórdido e irónico; su plasticidad y ambigüedad en el lenguaje son dos de los rasgos más evidentes en su obra
Remarks on non-linear noise excitability of some stochastic heat equations
We consider nonlinear parabolic SPDEs of the form on the interval , where denotes
space-time white noise, is Lipschitz continuous. Under Dirichlet
boundary conditions and a linear growth condition on , we show that the
expected -energy is of order as
. This significantly improves a recent result of
Khoshnevisan and Kim. Our method is very different from theirs and it allows us
to arrive at the same conclusion for the same equation but with Neumann
boundary condition. This improves over another result of Khoshnevisan and Kim
Optimal circular flight of multiple UAVs for target tracking in urban areas
This work is an extension of our previous result in which a novel single-target tracking
algorithm for fixed-wing UAVs (Unmanned Air Vehicles) was proposed. Our previous
algorithm firstly finds the centre of a circular flight path, rc, over the interested ground
target which maximises the total chance of keeping the target inside the camera field of view
of UAVs, , while the UAVs fly along the circular path. All the UAVs keep their maximum
allowed altitude and fly along the same circle centred at rc with the possible minimum turn
radius of UAVs. As discussed in [1,4], these circular flights are highly recommended for
various target tracking applications especially in urban areas, as for each UAV the
maximum altitude flight ensures the maximum visibility and the minimum radius turn
keeps the minimum distance to the target at the maximum altitude.
Assuming a known probability distribution for the target location, one can quantify ,
which is incurred by the travel of a single UAV along an arbitrary circle, using line-of-sight
vectors. From this observation, (the centre of) an optimal circle among numerous feasible
ones can be obtained by a gradient-based search combined with random sampling, as
suggested in [1]. This optimal circle is then used by the other UAVs jointly tracking the
same target. As the introduction of multiple UAVs may minimise further, the optimal
spacing between the UAVs can be naturally considered. In [1], a typical line search method
is suggested for this optimal spacing problem. However, as one can easily expect, the
computational complexity of this search method may undesirably increase as the number of
UAVs increases.
The present work suggests a remedy for this seemingly complex optimal spacing problem.
Instead of depending on time-consuming search techniques, we develop the following
algorithm, which is computationally much more efficient. Firstly, We calculate the
distribution (x), where x is an element of , which is the chance of capturing the target by
one camera along . Secondly, based on the distribution function, (x), find separation
angles between UAVs such that the target can be always tracked by at least one UAV with a
guaranteed probabilistic measure. Here, the guaranteed probabilistic measure is chosen by
taking into account practical constraints, e.g. required tracking accuracy and UAVs'
minimum and maximum speeds. Our proposed spacing scheme and its guaranteed
performance are demonstrated via numerical simulations
