Tight Bounds on the Synthesis of 3-bit Reversible Circuits: NFT Library

The reversible circuit synthesis problem can be reduced to permutation group. This allows Schreier-Sims Algorithm for the strong generating set-finding problem to be used to find tight bounds on the synthesis of 3-bit reversible circuits using the NFT library. The tight bounds include the maximum and minimum length of 3-bit reversible circuits, the maximum and minimum cost of 3-bit reversible circuits. The analysis shows better results than that found in the literature for the lower bound of the cost. The analysis also shows that there are 1960 universal reversible sub-libraries from the main NFT library.Comment: 18 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1101.438
