Scientific paper

The properties of the WKB method in the discrete representation are reviewed. The method provides the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the three-term recursion relations or, which is the same thing, the tridiagonal band matrices. Applications of the method to the splitting of the Rydberg atom levels in the external electric and magnetic fields are considered. Analytical treatment is given to the problem of the oscillator strength distribution in the quadratic Zeeman and the Stark-Zeeman spectra. In the case of the nonhydrogenic Rydberg atoms, the effect of the core on the pattern of the splitting is studied. Certain alternative applications of the discrete WKB method are considered in brief (the quasienergy spectra of nonlinear oscillators in resonant fields, rotational molecular spectra, calculation of infinite continued fractions).
