The QED contributions to the Li-like 2p/sub 1/2/-2s/sub 1/2/ and 2p/sub 3/2/-2s/sub 1/2/ transition energies have been calculated using Grant's multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock computer package (Grant et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 21, 207 (1980); McKenzie et al., ibid. 21, 233 (1980)). The QED contributions were combined with the energies that were recently calculated by Johnson, Blundell, and Sapirstein (Phys. Rev. A 37, 2764 (1988)) using many-body perturbation theory. The resulting transition energies are in excellent agreement with the observed transition energies that are available for the ions with atomic numbers up to Z = 36. Transition energies are predicted for the ions up to Z = 54.
