Nature of problem: As discussed in [1], the general procedure to compute a cross section for a physical process in perturbative quantum field theory involves generating the corresponding amplitude via Feynman diagram and performing the loop integrals in dimensional regularization [7]. The essential part in the computation is to reduce these loop integrals to a small number of standard integrals, which are called master integrals (MI), via the systematic methods of integration by parts (IBP) identities [8, 9] and Lorentz invariance (LI) identities [10]. The basic reduction algorithm is introduced by Laporta [11], which defines an ordering for Feynman integrals, generates IBP identities and solves the corresponding linear equations. Alternative methods to exploit IBP and LI identities for reductions can be found in [12–17]. There are many public computer programs for implementations of different reduction algorithms: AIR [18], FIRE [19] and Reduze [20]. To facilitate the input for Fire [19], Reduze [20], etc. we need to decompose the linear independent propagators to independent ones, this procedure can be done by the APart package [1] which generalizes the Mathematica function APart from one dimension to any thmlsrc">text stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465515003501&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465515003501&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=4470488b2cd1186c1f6b5c4899209cae" title="Click to view the MathML source">NthContainer hidden">thCode">
Solution method: We have proven that all linear independent propagators can be decomposed into the summation of linear independent ones in [1], APart is such a Mathematica package that implements such a reduction method and generalizes the Mathematica Apart function from 1 to any thmlsrc">text stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465515003501&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465515003501&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=4470488b2cd1186c1f6b5c4899209cae" title="Click to view the MathML source">NthContainer hidden">thCode">
Reasons for new version: The Mathematica pattern matching in the last version may become very slow when the number of variables becomes large, this calls for a revised version with a more efficient reduction. The feature with all positive or negative sign of some variables is favored in combined usage of FIRE [2] and FIESTA [3].
Summary of revisions: We introduce an abstract and compact representation for the linear composition of the independent variables, this results in a more efficient and fast reduction during the APart partial fraction, we also introduce an extra feature to make the sign of some variables always positive or negative during the reduction.
Running time: A few seconds or less.
