We study a problem: a class $S$ of rules given, for any $V\\in S$ describe all sizes $n', n'>n,$ of cylinders such that extension of $V$ by zeros to length $n'$ represents reversible additive CA on a cylinder of size $n'$. Since all extensions of $V$ have the same collection of positions of units, it is convenient to say about classes of collections of positions instead of classes of rules. A criterion of reversibility is proven. The problem is completely solved for infinite class of \"block collections\", i.e. $\\{(0,1,\\dots,h)|h\\in\\mathbb Z^+\\}$. Results obtained for \"exponential collections\" $\\{(1,2,4,\\dots,2^h)|h\\in\\mathbb Z^+\\}$ essentially reduce the complexity of the problem for this class. Ways to transfer the results on other classes of rules/collections are described. A conjecture is formulated for class $\\{(0,1,2^m)|m\\in\\mathbb Z^+\\}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-08-07T02:05:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B15", "68Q80" ], "keywords": [ "cylinder size", "reversibility", "exponential collections", "represents reversible additive ca" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1408.1463B" } } }
