We use the relativistic Hartree-Fock method, many-body perturbation theory, and configuration-interaction method to calculate the dependence of atomic transition frequencies on the fine-structure constant {alpha}=e{sup 2}/({Dirac_h}/2{pi})c. The results of these calculations will be used in the search for variation of the fine-structure constant in quasar absorption spectra.
