Mathematical Sciences: Computers in Dynamical Systems and Spectral Geometry

这是数学科学部数学科学计划科学计算研究设备项目的一项拨款。它用于购买专门用于支持数学科学研究的特殊用途设备。一般来说，这种设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难单独为一个项目证明是合理的。国家科学基金会的支持伴随着制造商的折扣和贡献，以及提交提案的机构的大量成本分担。这是大学、产业界和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个例子。该项目中的设备由四台相互连接的功能强大的微型计算机组成，它们将用于测试、检验和提出关于动力系统的假设，并用于研究涉及黎曼流形的谱现象和群论的问题。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences. It is for the purchase of special purpose equipment dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. In general, this equipment is required by several research projects, and would be difficult to justify for one project alone. Support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions from manufacturers, and with substantial cost-sharing from the institution submitting the proposal. This is an instance of university, industrial, and government cooperation in the support of basic research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment in this project consists of four linked powerful microcomputers which will be used in testing, examination, and formulation of hypotheses concerning dynamical systems and in the study of questions involving spectral phenomena and group theory for Riemannian manifolds.
