The property of reversibility is quite meaningful for the classic theoreticabl computer science model, cellular automata. This paper focuses on the reversibility of general one-dimensional (1D) linear cellular automata (LCA), under null boundary conditions over the finite field Zp. Although the existing approaches have split the reversibility challenge into two sub-problems: calculate the period of reversibility first, then verify the reversibility in a period, they are still exponential in the size of the CA's neighborhood. In this paper, we use two efficient algorithms with polynomial complexity to tackle these two challenges, making it possible to solve large-scale reversible LCA, which substantially enlarge its applicability. Finally, we provide an interesting perspective to inversely generate a 1D LCA from a given period of reversibility.
