In this Tech Note it is presented an example of how to compute the values of the diagrams in three dimensions starting from their integrands.

Let's consider, as an example, the diagrams of the (0) at the order , i.e. with 4 quartic vertices with zero external momenta.

It would be very challenging to numerically integrate directly the integrands written assigning the internal momenta to these diagrams. We have 3-loop diagrams, so the integrations would be generically in 6 dimensions (three integrations can be spared using the spherical symmetry of the integrand). It is helpful to substitute some of the analytically known subdiagrams so to reduce the number of effective loops and, thus, the dimension of the integrations.
Let's draw the effective diagrams after the substitutions implemented in this paclet. We do so by adding the option to .

The function prints the integrands associated with these diagrams in terms of the internal momenta (the external momenta are by default put to zero). All the analytic functions appearing in the integrands correspond to propagators and other analytic functions corresponding to the subdiagrams that have been substituted.
We obtain the integrands for the simplified diagrams using the option in .

Explicit Integrand in Three Dimensions
The function applied to the previous output prints the integrands in three dimensions in a form ready to be integrated. It does so by substituting each subdiagram block with its explicit analytic expression and by writing the internal moment in spherical components in 3D. With the option also a is applied to them.

Residual Loops
Residual Loops
Some of these integrands can be integrated analytically, while others not. So let's define a generic function to integrate them numerically. First of all, we have to understand in each case on how many variables we have to integrate. The function gives the number of residual loops on which we have to integrate.

Integration in Three Dimensions
Integration in Three Dimensions
Let us write a function for the numerical integration of diagrams with 0, 1, and 2 residual loops. Our integrals will be 0, 1, and 3 dimensional, respectively.
Particular care has to be taken for the integral's measure. We need to consider a factor for every loop, and, since we are in spherical coordinates, a factor sin() for every loop. Notice that we do not need to integrate over , , and and the corresponding factor can be taken into account analytically. Thus we can write:

We can now compare these values with those that can be printed using the function . There is a normalization factor of to obtain the Nickel normalization.
