N2 - In the Generalized Sturmian Method, solutions to the many-particle Schr\"odinger equation are built up from isoenergetic sets of solutions to an approximate Schr\"odinger equation with a weighted potential $\beta_\nu \op{V}_0(\xx)$. The weighting factors $\beta_\nu$ are chosen in such a way as to make all of the members of the basis set correspond to the energy of the state being represented. In this paper we apply the method to core ionization in atoms and atomic ions, using a basis where $\op{V}_0(\xx)$ is chosen to be the nuclear attraction potential. We make use of a large-$Z$ approximation, which leads to extremely simple closed-form expressions not only for energies, but also for values of the electronic potential at the nucleus. The method predicts approximately piecewise linear dependence of the core-ionization energies on the number of electrons $N$ for isonuclear series, and an approximately linear dependence of $\Delta E-Z^2/2$ on the nuclear charge $Z$ for isoelectronic series.
