The theoretical formation energy of point defects in the perovskite type alkaline-earth metal-Ti oxides have been calculated by means of first-principles calculation. Regardless A site alkaline-earth metal, the theoretical formation energy of O vacancy showed smaller value than that of Ba and Ti vacancy. Theoretical results showed good agreement with experimental fact abundance of O vacancy in BaTiO3 SrTiO3 and CaTiO3.
