Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1990

这是国家科学基金会数学科学部数学科学计划科学计算研究设备项目的一项资助。该计划支持购买专门用于进行数学科学研究的专用计算设备。这种设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难单独为一个项目辩护。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费用分摊。该项目是学术、企业和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个范例。这台设备将用于支持伍斯特理工学院数学系的四个研究项目：自由表面流动的数值计算，研究员是F.Dias；蠕变运动的数学研究，研究员是D.Tang；对称分叉的数值规范形约化，研究员是B.Farr；非线性自回归模型中估计和预测的一种类Bootstrap方法，调查者是M.Guo。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Sciences Foundation. This program supports the purchase of special purpose computing equipment dedicated to the conduct of research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment is required for 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 institutions submitting the proposal. This program is an example of academic, corporate, and government cooperation in the support of the basic research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment will be used to support four research projects in the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Worcester Polytechnic Institute: numerical computation of free surface flows, the investigator is F. Dias; mathematical studies of peristaltic motions, the investigator is D. Tang; numerical normal form reduction for bifurcation with symmetry, the investigator is B. Farr; a bootstrap-like method for estimation and prediction in nonlinear autoregressive models, the investigator is M. Guo.
