    Abstract

    Two exactly soluble models, Lipkin's model and a pairing force model, are studied to test a previously introduced particle-hole method (the hermitian operator method) for the description of collective states. The results support the relevance of the particle-hole space for the calculation of certain excited states, as well as the adequacy of the approximations due to the hermitian operator method. The sensitivity of the results to the approximate input two-body density matrix is studied.
