A survey is given on mathematical structures which emerge in multi-loop Feynman diagrams. These are multiply nested sums, and, associated to them by an inverse Mellin transform, specific iterated integrals. Both classes lead to sets of…

The harmonic polylogarithms (hpl's) are introduced. They are a generalization of Nielsen's polylogarithms, satisfying a product algebra (the product of two hpl's is in turn a combination of hpl's) and forming a set closed under the…
