The static dipole polarizability αd, i for an arbitrary bound state i of the non-relativistic hydrogen-like atom has been known for a long time from, e.g; the second-order perturbation theory treatment of the Stark effect. A reliable result for the ground state requires both summation over the discrete spectrum and inclusion of the continuum contribution. This continuum contribution is known to decrease for excited states, but a systematic study of this decrease has not been available so far. We present here representative results from a systematic study of αd, i , which was performed as a first test of a new algorithm for the radial integrals involved. Partial sum approximations of the discrete contribution yield the total αd, i with a relative error of less than 1% for all states i with principal quantum number n≥5. Corresponding results for the relativistic case, for which the radial integral algorithm was developed, will be presented elsewhere.
