Correlated quantum impurity embedded in a metallic host can form the many-body Kondo state with itinerant electrons due to the effective antiferromagnetic coupling. Such effect is manifested spectroscopically by a narrow Abrikosov-Suhl peak appearing at the Fermi level below a characteristic temperature TK (Kondo temperature). We analyze nanoscopic heterojunction where the correlated quantum impurity is coupled to superconducting reservoir. We study influence of the induced on-dot pairing on the exchange interaction adopting the continuous unitary transformation.
