Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment

这项资助是在数学科学部数学科学计划的科学计算研究设备项下进行的。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。该项目中的设备将用于以下研究项目：网络中的绝热量子传输；涉及有限群特征的计算，以及与有限维代数有关的组合问题；以及组合码的研究。

This grant is 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 will be used in the following research projects: adiabatic quantum transport in networks; computations involving characters of finite groups, and combinatorial problems connected to finite dimensional algebras; and research in combinatorial codes.
