Abstract

A Boolean function ff on kk~bits induces a shift-invariant vectorial Boolean function FF from nn bits to nn bits for every nkn\geq k. If FF is bijective for every nn, we say that ff is a proper lifting, and it is known that proper liftings are exactly those functions that arise as local rules of reversible cellular automata. We construct new families of such liftings for arbitrary large kk and discuss whether all have been identified for k6k\leq 6.
