Abstract
A method is presented to obtain the canonical-form solutions of the HFB equation for atomic nuclei with zero-range interactions like the Skyrme force. It is appropriate to describe pairing correlations in the continuum in coordinate-space representations. An improved gradient method is used for faster convergences under constraint of orthogonality between orbitals. To prevent high-lying orbitals to shrink into a spatial point, a repulsive momentum dependent force is introduced as an effective cut-off, which turns out to unveil the nature of high-lying canonical-basis orbitals.
