Reversible Computing

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Reversible computing, sometimes called non-destructive computing includes any computational process that is (at least to some close approximation) reversible; i.e., time-invertible, meaning that a time-reversed version of the process could exist within the same general dynamical framework as the original process. For example, within the context of deterministic dynamical frameworks, a necessary condition for reversibility is that the transition function mapping states to their successors at a given later time should be one-to-one.
