The variational canonical transformation method has been applied to the Holstein model to obtain an effective polaronic Hamiltonian, which is subsequently analyzed in the limit of a weak effective electron-electron interaction. A competition between the superconducting and charge-density wave phases has been studied in the light of strong polaronic effects. The phase diagrams illustrating the system evolution from adiabatic to anti-adiabatic limit are presented.
