Abstract
This paper reports classification of CA (cellular automata) rules targeting efficient synthesis of reversible cellular automata. An analytical framework is developed to explore the properties of CA rules for 3-neighborhood 1-dimensional CA. It is found that in two-state 3-neighborhood CA, the CA rules fall into 6 groups depending on their potential to form reversible CA. The proposed classification of CA rules enables synthesis of reversible CA in linear time.
