چکیده
A reversible cellular automaton (RCA) is a cellular automaton (CA) whose global function is injective and every connguration has at most one predecessor. Margolus showed that there is a computation-universal two-dimensional 2-state RCA. But his RCA has non-uniform neighbor, so Morita and Ueno proposed 16-state computation-universal RCA using partitioned cellular automata (PCA). Because PCA can be regarded as a subclass of standard CA, their models has standard neighbor. In this paper, we show that the number of states of Morita and Ueno's models can be reducible. To decrease the number of states from their models with preserving isotropic and bit-preserving properties, we used triangular 3-neighbor, and thus 8-state RCA can be possible. This is the smallest state two-dimensional RCA under the condition of isotropic property on the framework of PCA. We show that our model can simulate basic circuit elements such as unit wires, delay elements, crossing wires, switch gates and inverse switch gates. And it is possible to construct a Fredkin gate by combining these elements. Since Fredkin gate is known to be a universal logic gate, our model has computation-universality.

متن کاملAbout the Universality of the Billiard ball model
Block cellular automata (BCA) make local, parallel, synchronous and uniform updates of innnite lattices. In the one-dimensional case, there exist BCA with 11 states which are universal for computation. The Billiard ball model of Margolus is a reversible two-dimensional BCA which is able to simulate any two-register automaton and is thus universal. This simulation is achieved by embedding a logi...
متن کاملNumber-Conserving Reversible Cellular Automata and Their Computation-Universality
We introduce a new model of cellular automaton called a one-dimensional number-conserving partitioned cellular automaton (NC-PCA). An NC-PCA is a system such that a state of a cell is represented by a triple of non-negative integers, and the total (i.e., sum) of integers over the connguration is conserved throughout its evolving (computing) process. It can be thought as a kind of modelization o...

In this paper, we investigate and discuss the problem how the abilities of computing and self-reproduction can be realized in a \reversible" environment, especially in reversible cellular automata (RCA). An RCA is a \backward deterministic" CA in which every conngu-ration of the cellular space has at most one predecessor. Such systems have a close connection to physical reversibility, and have ...
