Analytical investigation of time-dependent accretion in disks is carried out. We consider a time-dependent disk in a binary system at outburst which has a fixed tidally-truncated outer radius. The standard Shakura-Sunyaev model of the disk is considered. The vertical structure of the disk is accurately described in two regimes of opacity: Thomson and free-free. Fully analytical solutions are obtained, characterized by power-law variations of accretion rate with time. The solutions supply asymptotic description of disk evolution in flaring sources in the periods after outbursts while the disk is fully ionized. The X-ray flux of multicolor (black-body) alpha-disk is obtained as varying quasi-exponentially. Application to X-ray novae is briefly discussed concerning the observed faster-than-power decays of X-ray light curves. The case of time-dependent advective disk when the exponential variations of accretion rate can occur is discussed.
