Reversible dynamics
A mathematical or physical process is time-reversible if the dynamics of the process remain well-defined when the sequence of time-states is reversed.
A deterministic process is time-reversible if the time-reversed process satisfies the same as the original process; in other words, the equations are invariant or symmetrical under a change in the sign of time. A is reversible if the statistical properties of the process are the same as the statistical properties for time-reversed data from the same process.
In mathematics, a dynamical system is time-reversible if the forward evolution is one-to-one, so that for every state there exists a transformation (an involution) π which gives a one-to-one mapping between the time-reversed evolution of any one state and the forward-time evolution of another corresponding state, given by the operator equation:
Any time-independent structures (e.g. critical points or attractors) which the dynamics give rise to must therefore either be self-symmetrical or have symmetrical images under the involution π.
In physics, the laws of motion of classical mechanics exhibit time reversibility, as long as the operator π reverses the conjugate momenta of all the particles of the system, i.e. (T-symmetry).
