Abstract An open three-variable mass action kinetics is presented which exhibits chaotic behavior under numerical simulation. The elementary reactions of this system are at most of second order and satisfy the requirements of thermodynamics as long as the system is closed.

Second order mass action kinetics provide the simplest models of nonlinear reaction systems. Some of their dynamic properties, viz., location, number, and stability pattern of their critical points, will be analyzed. The occurrence of periodic and chaotic solutions of these systems is discussed.

By investigating the reaction diagram in its own right, it is possible to solve the problem of enumerating all the different types of mass action kinetics up to second order. The amount of non isomorphic complex sets for a given number of species and of non isomorphic reaction networks and reversible reaction networks which can be derived from a given number of complexes is given.

State-of-the-art biochemical systems for medical applications and chemical computing are application-specific and cannot be reprogrammed or trained once fabricated. The implementation of adaptive biochemical systems that would offer flexibility through programmability and autonomous adaptation faces major challenges because of the large number of required chemical species as well as the timing-sensitive feedback loops required for learning. In this paper, we begin addressing these challenges with a novel chemical perceptron that can solve all 14 linearly separable logic functions. The system performs asymmetric chemical arithmetic, learns through reinforcement and supports both Michaelis–Menten as well as mass-action kinetics. To enable cascading of the chemical perceptrons, we introduce thresholds that amplify the outputs. The simplicity of our model makes an actual wet implementation, in particular by DNA-strand displacement, possible.

Optimization of a second-order multiply-connected inhomogeneous boundary-value problem was considered in terms of elastic torsion. External boundary and material proportions are the applied constraints in finding optimal internal configurations of the cross section. The optimization procedure is based on the numerical simulation of the membrane analogy and the results obtained indicate that the procedure is usable as an engineering tool. Optimal solutions are obtained for some representative cases of the torsion problem and they are presented in the form of tables and figures.
