U.S.-Mexico Program: Kinetics of Non-Linear Reactive Systems

小行星9600232 该美洲计划奖将支持波士顿大学的Sydney Redner博士和墨西哥库埃尔纳瓦卡的墨西哥国立自治大学的Francois Leyvraz博士之间的合作研究，研究稀释非弹性气体的动力学和由此产生的空间组织。 该项目有三个不同的部分：定性方法的发展，以了解非弹性气体的动力学和聚类现象，一个简单的放热反应模型的时空行为的研究，以及合作和竞争行为的简单模型的介绍和调查，可能会导致分析的进步。 要研究的问题是相关的复杂的，非线性系统的理论，目前的研究。 该研究将导致我们对重要技术过程的理解显着增加，并涉及对社会科学感兴趣和潜在相关性的新模型。 ***

9600232 Redner This Americas Program award will support collaborative research between Dr. Sydney Redner, Boston University, and Dr. Francois Leyvraz, UNAM, Cuernavaca, Mexico, on the dynamics and resulting spatial organization of dilute inelastic gases. The project has three distinct parts: development of qualitative methods to understand the dynamics and clustering phenomena of inelastic gases, studies of the spatio-temporal behavior of a simple exothermic reaction model, and introduction and investigation of simple models of cooperative and competitive behavior that may lead to analytic advances. The problems to be studied are relevant to current studies in the theory of complex, non-linear systems. The research will lead to significant increases in our understanding of important technological processes and involves novel models that are of interest and potential relevance to the social sciences as well. ***
