Abstract

We comment on the algorithm to compute periods using hyperlogarithms, applied to massless Feynman integrals in the parametric representation. Explicitly, we give results for all three-loop propagators with arbitrary insertions including order ε4\varepsilon^4 and show examples at four and more loops. Further we prove that all coefficients of the ε\varepsilon-expansion of these integrals are rational linear combinations of multiple zeta values and in some cases possibly also alternating Euler sums.
