abstract

We present the numerical solution of the full gap equation in a weak coupling constant $g$. It is found that the standard approximations to derive the gap equation to the leading order of coupling constant are essential for a secure numerical evaluation of the logarithmic singularity with a small coupling constant. The approximate integral gap equation with a very small $g$ should be inverted to a soft integral equation to smooth the logarithmic singularity near the Fermi surface. The full gap equation is solved for a rather large coupling constant $g\ge 2.0$. The approximate and soft integral gap equations are solved for small $g$ values. When their solutions are extrapolated to larger $g$ values, they coincide the full gap equation solution near the Fermi surface. Furthermore, the analytical solution matches the numerical one up to the order one O(1). Our results confirm the previous estimates that the gap energy is of the order tens to 100 MeV for the chemical potential $\mu\le 1000$ MeV. They also support the validity of leading approximations applied to the full gap equation to derive the soft integral gap equation and its analytical solution near the Fermi surface.
