A k-counter machine (CM(k)) is an automaton having k counters as an auxiliary memory. It has been shown by Minsky that a CM(2) can simulate any Turing machine and thus it is universal. In this paper, we investigate the computing ability of reversible (i.e., backward deterministic) CMs. We first sho
