An investigation is made of the possibility of the appearance of a state of the atomic nucleus which will be energetically lower than the normal stnte. The above state is designated the superfiuid state. The superfluid state is investigated using the Bogolubov variational principle, which is the generalization of the well-known Fock method by means of which mathematical methods are developed in the theory of superconductivity. A . rather idealized mcdel of the atomic nucleus is considered. Analogous calculations may be made for other nuclear models in which the interactions of all the nucleons are taken into account. The obtained results confirm considerations set forth in a previous study about the physical analogy between the Fermi-systems of metal and nucleus and illustrate the fruitfulness of application of the mathemntical methods developed in the theory of superconductivity for studying the properties of the atomic nucleus.
