In a recent study, Monino and Loos showed that the discontinuities could be removed by the introduction, in the quasiparticle equation, of a regularizer inspired by the similarity renormalization group (SRG). \cite{Monino_2022} In a recent study, Monino and Loos showed that the discontinuities could be removed by the introduction, in the quasiparticle equation, of a regularizer inspired by the similarity renormalization group (SRG). \cite{Monino_2022}
