Abstract
The (2(w))! reversible transformations on w wires, i.e. reversible logic circuits with w inputs and w outputs, together with the action of cascading, form a group, isomorphic to the symmetric group Sew. Therefore, we investigate the group S. as well as one of its subgroups isomorphic to S-n/2 x S-n/2. We then consider the left cosets, the right cosets, and the double cosets generated by the subgroup. Each element of a coset can function as the representative of the coset. Different choices of the coset space and different choices of the coset representatives lead to four different syntheses for implementing an arbitrary reversible logic operation into hardware. Comparison leads to a best choice: a single coset space, with representatives that are generalized TOFFOLI and FREDKIN gates.
