Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1990

本项目为美国国家科学基金会数学科学部数学科学项目的科学计算研究设备项目。该计划支持购买专用于数学科学研究的专用计算设备。这些设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难证明单独用于一个项目是合理的。国家科学基金会的支持与制造商的折扣和捐款以及提交提案的机构的大量费用分摊相结合。这个项目是学术、企业和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个例子。该设备将分别用于支持威斯康星大学、锡拉丘兹大学和康奈尔大学数学系的D. Griffeath、J. T. Cox和R. Durrett的研究项目。三位研究人员中至少有两位将从事以下五个项目：非线性选民模型、反垫脚石模型、森林火灾和流行病、循环波动力学和泊松格上的生长模型。

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 research projects by D. Griffeath, J. T. Cox, and R. Durrett in the Departments of Mathematics of the University of Wisconsin, the University of Syracuse, and Cornell University, respectively. At least two of the three investigators will work on the following five projects: nonlinear voter models, anti-stepping stone models, forest fires and epidemics, cyclic wave dynamics, and growth models on Poisson lattices.
