Abstract
The authors discuss the relativistic Thomas-Fermi model for atoms and derive a relativistic extension of the Dirac exchange term. As a result of this model the mutual cancellation of the exchange and relativistic corrections to the energies of inner-shell electrons in heavy atoms (Z>50) is demonstrated.
