This paper proposes a new method to strengthen the nonlinear kinetic complexity and ergodicity of Lorenz system. Through the analysis of auto-correlation, frequency distribution, approximate entropy and information entropy, the improved Lorenz system has better dynamical properties than Lorenz system. According to NIST-800-22 test results, the chaotic sequences generated from proposed system have passed all random tests, which denotes that the improved Lorenz system is applicable to chaotic encryption. Once the plaintext image is color, the size of scramble image is three times as big as plaintext image, so that a lot more pixel information participant in permutation and diffusion to get better encryption results. Simulation results show that the image encryption scheme provides good security and high capacity to resist common attacks.

Lorenz system is depicted by chemical reaction equations of an ideal formal chemical reaction network, and a series of reversible reactions are added into chemical reaction network in order to construct a cluster of hyper-Lorenz system. DNA as a universal substrate for chemical dynamics can approximate arbitrary dynamical characteristics of ideal formal chemical reaction network through auxiliary DNA strands and displacement reactions. Based on Lyapunov's stableness theory, a novel synchronization strategy is proposed. A 6-dimensional hyper-Lorenz system is taken as examples for simulation and shows that DNA strands displacement reactions can implement the synchronization of ideal formal chemical reaction networks. Numerical simulations indicate that synchronization based on DNA strand displacement is robust to the detection of DNA strand concentration, control of reaction rate, and noise.

Ideal formal chemical reaction network is an effective programming language to design complex system dynamical behavior. In this article, a coupled hyper-chaotic Lorenz system can be described by the ordinary differential equations of an ideal formal reaction network, which is constructed by catalysis, annihilation and adjust reaction modules, where the variables of system are represented by the difference in concentration of two chemical species. The ideal formal reaction network can be implemented by DNA strand displacement reaction network. Through Lyapunov exponent, we have analyzed hyper-chaotic dynamical behavior of coupled Lorenz system. In discussion and analysis, we have analyzed effect of noise, reaction rate control error and concentration detection error to DNA strand displacement reaction network.

Analog DNA strand displacement circuits can be used to build artificial neural network due to the continuity of dynamic behavior. In this study, DNA implementations of novel catalysis, novel degradation and adjustment reaction modules are designed and used to build an analog DNA strand displacement reaction network. A novel adaptive linear neuron (ADALINE) is constructed by the ordinary differential equations of an ideal formal chemical reaction network, which is built by reaction modules. When reaction network approaches equilibrium, the weights of the ADALINE are updated without learning algorithm. Simulation results indicate that, ADALINE based on the analog DNA strand displacement circuit has ability to implement the learning function of the ADALINE based on the ideal formal chemical reaction networks, and fit a class of linear function.
