A method for verifying a logical equivalency between two logic circuits
having different combinational logic circuits includes the steps of
converting into a logic circuit a logic cone that has been determined for
each of the two logic circuits, the logic cone including all inputs and
all logic circuits which affect one output of the combinational logic
circuit, storing a logical expression converted by the converting step
and a logic circuit element included in the logic cone while correlating
the logical expression with the logic circuit element, and specifying the
logic circuit element corresponding to a specified term in the logical
expression that has been converted.
