The 2017 SNOOK PRIZES in Computational Statistical Mechanics

The 2017 Snook Prize has been awarded to Kenichiro Aoki for his exploration of chaos in Hamiltonian ${\varphi }^4$ 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 H'enon-Heiles models and has been selected for Honorable Mention in the Snook-Prize competition.
