Abstract
A reversible cellular automaton (CA) is a "backward deterministic" CA, i.e, every configuration of it has at most one predecessor. Toffoli showed that a two-dimensional reversible cellular automaton is computation universal. He posed an open problem whether a one-dimensional reversible CA is computation universal. In this paper, we solve this problem affirmatively. This result is proved by using the previous result of Morita et al. that a 1-tape reversible Turing machine is computation universal. We give a construction method of a reversible CA which simulates a given 1-tape reversible Turing machine. To do this, we introduce a "one-dimensional partitioned cellular automaton" (1-PCA). 1-PCA has the property that the local reversibility (i.e., injectivity of a local function) is equivalent to the global reversibility, and thus it facilitates to design a reversible CA.
