Abstract
The relationship between the output and the gate number for the same type of Toffoli gates in series was analyzed and proved.In order to ensure the convergence in the process of series connection,we gave the method of calculating the number of the reversible network cascaded by Toffoli gates and proved the relationship between the bit vector′s number of Hamming weight and the number of input/output.An algorithm on how to get a cascade network in series,parallel and mixture based on Toffoli gates was proposed and its validity was further verified.
