  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Texts & Monographs in Symbolic Computation ((TEXTSMONOGR))

Abstract

A survey is given on the present status of analytic calculation methods and the mathematical structures of zero- and single scale Feynman amplitudes which emerge in higher order perturbative calculations in the Standard Model of elementary particles, its extensions and associated model field theories, including effective field theories of different kind.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For a summary on recent massless calculations, see [26].

  2. 2.

    For other recent surveys on integration methods for Feynman integrals see [27,28,29,30,31,32].

  3. 3.

    This representation has been used in a more specific form also in [196] later.

  4. 4.

    To see the same on the basis of a Heun differential equation is much more difficult [187].
