In the second order of the operator form of the perturbation theory, the effective interactions in a superconducting nanowire have been obtained at the strong electron correlations, when the spin–orbit coupling parameter is comparable with the hopping integral. Using the exact diagonalization technique, in short nanowires with the open boundary conditions at the strong Coulomb repulsion, the excitations corresponding to the Majorana edge states with the energy below the value of a bulk superconducting gap have been demonstrated.
