The integration by parts recurrence relations allow to reduce some Feynman
integrals to more simple ones (with some lines missing). Nevertheless the p
ossibility of such reduction for the given particular integral was unclear.
The recently proposed technique for studying the recurrence relations as b
y-product provides with simple criterion of the irreducibility. (C) 2000 Pu
