  • Abstract
    Four main approaches to synthesis of reversible circuits are considered: cycle-based, transformation-based, ESOP-based and BDD-based as well as their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. It is indicated that the decisions in them are based on local information only what leads to very redundant designs. Suggestions for making global decisions are also presented. New directions of research are also described.
