The numerical solution of the recently formulated number-projected Hartree-
Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) equations is studied in an exactly solvable cranked-d
eformed shell-model Hamiltonian. it is Found that the solution of these num
ber-projected equations involves si mi lar numerical effort as that of bal
e HFB. We consider that this is significant prepress in the mean-field stud
ies of quantum many-body systems. The results of the projected calculations
are: shown to be in almost complete agreement with the exact solutions of
the model Hamiltonian. The phase transition obtained in the HFB theory as a
function of the: relational Frequency is shown to be smeared out with the
projection. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
