Description

A very rapid, but accurate, fully relativistic method for calculating the atomic-structure data needed in determining collision strengths for highly charged ions is developed. A more rapid quasirelativistic approximation to this approach is also described. Results for oscillator strengths and energies are compared with those by mostly more elaborate programs for neonlike and nickel-like ions and generally good agreement is obtained
