Configuration space based recurrence relations for sunset-type diagrams

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