Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1990

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。该设备将用于支持休斯顿大学数学系的四个研究项目。研究人员的名字和项目名称如下：戈卢比茨基和墨尔本，分叉理论和动力系统；Auchmuty，Dean，Glowinski和Scott，力学中的变分方法；Keyfitz，Sanders和Wagner，以守恒定律建模的计算复杂流动；Fajtlowicz，自动化猜想。

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 Mathematics of University of Houston. The names of the investigators and the titles of their projects follow: Golubitsky and Melbourne, Bifurcation Theory and Dynamical Systems; Auchmuty, Dean, Glowinski and Scott, Variational Methods in Mechanics; Keyfitz, Sanders and Wagner, Computing Complex Flows Modeled by Conservation Laws; and Fajtlowicz, Automated Conjectures.
