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。该设备将用于支持乔治华盛顿大学数学系的五个研究项目：穆利·古普塔指导的粘性流动问题的高精度多重网格法；弗兰克·巴金斯基指导的弹性球壳的屈曲；凯文·霍基特指导的具有奇异性的哈密顿数值动力学；瓦片和准晶的动力学理论，由E.Arthur Robinson指导；组合统计学，由Rodica Simion指导。

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 five research projects in the Department of Mathematics of George Washington University: high accuracy multigrid solution of viscous flow problems, directed by Murli Gupta; the buckling of elastic spherical shells, directed by Frank Baginski; numerical dynamics of hamiltonians with singularities, directed by Kevin Hockett; the dynamical theory of tilings and quasicrystals, directed by E. Arthur Robinson; combinatorial statistics, directed by Rodica Simion.
