The energy levels involving the 0{sup +}, (-1){sup +}, (-2){sup +} states of the lithium atom in strong magnetic fields up to 2.35x10{sup 7} T are investigated. Our computational approach is a full-core-plus-correlation (FCPC) method based on a set of anisotropic Gaussian orbitals nonlinearly optimized for different field strength. A detailed comparison between our method, the FCPC method in spherical coordinates, and the full configuration-interaction method is made. The dipole oscillator strengths of 1{sup 2}0{sup +}-1{sup 2}(-1){sup +} and 1{sup 2}(-1){sup +}-1{sup 2}(-2){sup +} transitions, as well as the transition wavelengths for the transitions {nu}{sup 2}0{sup +}{yields}{mu}{sup 2}(-1){sup +} and {nu}{sup 2}(-1){sup +}{yields}{mu}{sup 2}(-2){sup +} are also presented.
