Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment

这是国家科学基金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。该设备将用于支持西北大学工程科学与应用数学系的四个研究项目。研究人员的名字和项目名称如下：非绝热气体燃料燃烧的数值研究，Bayliss和Matkowsky；无气燃烧的数值研究，Bayliss和Matkowsky；随机动力学中的积分-偏微分方程组的数值解，Matkowsky；以及随机动力学中的激活的数值模拟，Matkowsky。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science 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 Engineering Science and Applied Mathematics of Northwestern University. The names of the investigators and the titles of their projects follow: Numerical Study of Non-adiabatic Gaseous Fuel Combustion, Bayliss and Matkowsky; Numerical Study of Gasless Combustion, Bayliss and Matkowsky; Numerical Solution of Integro-partial Differential Equations in Stochastic Dynamics, Matkowsky; and Numerical Simulations of Activation in Stochastic Dynamics, Matkowsky.
