Abstract
We consider one-loop light-by-light-scattering contributions to the Lamb shift of the states in light muonic hydrogen like atoms at . The contributions are of the order (with diverse dependence on the nuclear charge ). Those include the contributions of the so-called Wichmann-Kroll potential (), the virtual Delbr\"uck scattering (), etc. The results are obtained in a nonrelativistic approximation. For the calculation of the virtual-Delbr\"uck-scattering contribution, we have constructed an effective potential in the coordinate space which may be applied to other calculations in muonic atoms.
