contents Deterministic two-way transducers with pebbles (aka pebble transducers) capture the class of polyregular functions, which extend the string-to-string regular functions allowing polynomial growth instead of linear growth. One of the most fundamental operations on functions is composition, and (poly)regular functions can be realized as a composition of several simpler functions. In general, composition of deterministic two-way transducers incur a doubly exponential blow-up in the size of the inputs. A major improvement in this direction comes from the fundamental result of Dartois et al. [10] showing a polynomial construction for the composition of reversible two-way transducers. A precise complexity analysis for existing composition techniques of pebble transducers is missing. But they rely on the classic composition of two-way transducers and inherit the double exponential complexity. To overcome this problem, we introduce reversible pebble transducers. Our main results are efficient uniformization techniques for non-deterministic pebble transducers to reversible ones and efficient composition for reversible pebble transducers.
