Description

We apply a 'Direct Computation Method', which is purely numerical, to evaluate Feynman integrals. This method is based on the combination of an efficient numerical integration and an efficient extrapolation strategy. In addition, high-precision arithmetic and parallelization techniques can be used if required. We present our recent progress in the development of this method and show test results such as for one-loop 5-point and two-loop 3-point integrals.
