We discuss methods used in mean-field theories to treat pairing
correlations within the local density approximation. Pairing renormalization and regularization procedures are compared in spherical and deformed nuclei. Both
prescriptions give fairly similar results, although the theoretical
motivation, simplicity, and stability of the regularization procedure
makes it a method of choice for future applications.
