Abstract
Constant pins are determined in a combinational circuit by associating an input of a combinational circuit with a first variable and a second variable, with the second variable being the complement of the first variable. For a first logical cell interconnected to such input, a first mathematical representation and a second mathematical representation are computed. The first mathematical representation is a function of the operation of the first logical cell and a function of the first variable, and the second mathematical representation is a function of the operation of the first logical cell and a function of the second variable. A determination is then made as to whether one of the first and second mathematical representations is equal to a constant.
