Ab initio approaches in nuclear theory, such as the no-core shell model (NCSM), have been developed for approximately solving finite nuclei with realistic strong interactions. The NCSM and other approaches require an extrapolation of the…

In this paper we investigate regular patterns of matrix elements of the nuclear shell model Hamiltonian $H$, by sorting the diagonal matrix elements from the smaller to larger values. By using simple plots of non-zero matrix elements and…
