Abstract

The calculation of massive 2--loop operator matrix elements, required for the higher order Wilson coefficients for heavy flavor production in deeply inelastic scattering, leads to new types of multiple infinite sums over harmonic sums and related functions, which depend on the Mellin parameter NN. We report on the solution of these sums through higher order difference equations using the summation package {\tt Sigma}.
