Abstract
We investigate the asymptotic properties of higher-order binding corrections to the one-loop self energy of excited states in atomic hydrogen. We evaluate the historically problematic A60 coefficient for all P states with principal quantum numbers n {less then or equal to} 7 and D states with n {less then or equal to} 8, and find that a satisfactory representation of the n dependence of the coefficients requires a three-parameter fit. The data obtained are consistent with a limit A60 -> cost. as n -> {variation} for constant orbital and total electron.
