This paper focuses on automated computer-aided symbolic analysis of com-binational networks. A novel program is presented to carry out the symbolic analysis, and to derive closed-form formulas for the response of combina-tional networks, for excitations specified by symbols or symbolic expressions. The source code listing of the program is presented. The program opera-tion is fully illustrated by an example. The symbolic analysis addressed in this work can serve as a basis of efficient programs for variety of logic design tasks, including logic simulation, fault simulation, test generation, and sym-bolic verification. The advantages of the proposed approach are discussed. Scientists, researchers, designers, educators and students dealing with combi-national networks can benefit from the symbolic approach considered in this paper.
