Abstract
We derive recurrence relations for the calculation of multiloop
sunset-type diagrams with large powers of massive propagators. The technique
is formulated in configuration space and exploits the explicit form of the
massive propagator raised to a given power. We write down and evaluate a
convenient set of basis integrals. The method is well suited for a numerical
evaluation of this class of diagrams. We give explicit analytical formulae
for the basis integrals in the asymptotic regime.
