Abstract:
The 2017 Snook Prize has been awarded to Kenichiro Aoki for his exploration of chaos in Hamiltonian φ4 models. His work addresses symmetries, thermalization, and Lyapunov instabilities in few-particle dynamical systems. A companion paper by Timo Hofmann and Jochen Merker is devoted to the exploration of generalized Hénon-Heiles models and has been selected for Honorable Mention in the Snook-Prize competition.
Key words:
Lyapunov instability, reversibility, second law of thermodynamics, time-symmetry breaking
