We present a generalized equations-of-motion method that efficientlycalculates energy spectra and matrix elements for algebraic models. The methodis applied to a 5-dimensional quartic oscillator that exhibits a quantum phasetransition between vibrational and rotational phases. For certain parameters,10 by 10 matrices give better results than obtained by diagonalising 1000 by1000 matrices.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
