The document describes the design of reversible n-bit comparators and n-to-2n decoders using a novel 4x4 reversible gate called the inventive gate. Key points: - A novel 4x4 inventive gate is introduced that can implement all boolean logic functions and is used to design 1-bit comparators and n-to-2n decoders. - Reversible 1-bit, 2-bit, 8-bit, 32-bit, and n-bit group-based comparators are constructed using the inventive gate that have low values for reversible logic parameters like number of gates, garbage outputs, and constant inputs. - Approaches for designing 2-to-22 and
