Abstract
By relating the Stark-effect problem in hydrogenlike atoms to that of the spherical anharmonic oscillator, we have found simple formulae for energy eigenvalues for the Stark effect. Matrix elements have been calculated using the properties of Laguerre polynomials, and then the variable scaling method has been used to find optimal solutions. Our numerical results are compared with those of Hioe and Yoo and also with the results obtained by Lanczos.
