Facility for Interdisciplinary Research in Industrial and Applied Mathematics

所要求的设备源于约克大学工业与应用数学实验室（LIAM）升级计算设施的迫切需要。LIAM成立于2001年，自成立以来一直提供一个建立工业推广和培养密集跨学科培训和研究环境的场所。2001年通过CRC-CFI基础设施计划资助的计算和数据处理设施已经非常过时，迫切需要升级的设施来提高LIAM研究和培训的完整性和及时性，在LIAM中，当前和未来需要大量计算能力的活跃研究项目包括疾病动力学的计算和地理模拟；媒介传播疾病在时空变化环境中随空间运动的时空格局；高维空间数据聚类及其在基因表达数据分析中的应用具有季节性的时滞微分方程的渐近分析和状态相关的时滞微分方程的分岔分析。

The equipment requested derives form the urgent need to upgrade the computing facilities at the Laboratory for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (LIAM) at York University. LIAM was established in 2001 and has since been providing a locus that builds the industrial outreach and fosters an intensive interdisciplinary training and research environment. The computing and data processing facility, funded in 2001 through the CRC-CFI Infrastructure Program, has been very much outdated, and the upgraded facility is urgently needed to improve the integrity and timeliness of the research and training at LIAM, within which current and future active research projects requiring substantial computing power include computational and geo-simulation of disease dynamics; spatiotemporal patterns of vector-borne diseases in temporally varying environments with spatial movements; data clustering in high dimensional spaces with application in gene expression data analysis; and asymptotic analysis of delay differential equations with seasonality and bifurcation analysis of state-dependent delay differential equations.
