We investigate the behaviour of the pairing model within the context o
f quantum algebras. The pairing Hamiltonian is diagonalized exactly fo
r different values of the deformation parameter q in systems with 8 an
d 50 particles. The same Hamiltonian is solved with the help of the co
herent state variational method. We find that the variational method g
ives reliable results when compared with the exact ones. We also discu
ss the differences between the two deformation procedures.
