We study the dual graph polynomials and the case when a Feynman graph has no triangles but has a 4-face. This leads to the proof of the duality-admissibility of all graphs up to 18 loops. As a consequence, the $c_2$ invariant is the same…

The integration by parts recurrence relations allow to reduce some Feynman integrals to more simple ones (with some lines missing). Nevertheless the possibility of such reduction for the given particular integral was unclear. The recently…
We re-examine the quantization of a class of non-polynomial scalar field theories which interpolates continuously from a free one to $\phi^4$ theory. The quantization of such theories is problematic because the Feynman rules may not be…
