Abstract.
It is shown that the nuclear single-particle energy spectra obtained in the selfconsistent way obey similar particle number dependence as the spectrum of a pure 3D harmonic oscillator potential. This effect was used to improve the quality of evaluation of the shell correction energy in weakly bound nuclei. The magnitude of the traditional Strutinsky shell correction energy obtained by the smearing of the single-particle energy spectrum of light nuclei is compared with that obtained by the smoothing of the single-particle energy sums in the particle number space.
