Abstract

We discovered that certain patterns called injective patterns remain stable during the revolution process, allowing us to create many reversible CA simply by using them to design the revolution rules. By examining injective patterns, we investigated their structural stability during revolutions. This led us to discover extended patterns and pattern mixtures that can create more reversible cellular automata. Furthermore, our research proposed a new way to study the reversibility of CA by observing the structure of local rule ff. In this paper, we will explicate our study and propose an efficient method for finding the injective patterns. Our algorithms can find injective rules and generate local rule ff by traversing 2N2^{N}, instead of 22N2^{2^{N}} to check all injective rules and pick the injective ones.
