While for synchronous deterministic cellular automata there is an accepted
definition of reversibility, the situation is less clear for asynchronous
cellular automata. We first discuss a few possibilities and then investigate
what we call phase space invertible asynchronous cellular automata in more
detail. We will show that for each Turing machine there is such a cellular
automaton simulating it, and that it is decidable whether an asynchronous
cellular automaton has this property or not, even in higher dimensions.Comment: In Proceedings AUTOMATA&JAC 2012, arXiv:1208.249
