  Accurate calculations of the binding energies, the hyperfine splitting, the
bound-electron g-factor, and the parity nonconservation effects in heavy
few-electron ions are considered. The calculations include the relativistic,
quantum electrodynamic (QED), electron-correlation, and nuclear effects. The
theoretical results are compared with available experimental data. A special
attention is focused on tests of QED in a strong Coulomb field.
