We review the method of the calculation of multiloop integrals suggested in Ref.\cite{Lee2010}.
Applications of a method recently suggested by one of the authors (R.L.) are presented. This method is based on the use of dimensional recurrence relations and analytic properties of Feynman integrals as functions of the parameter of dimensional regularization, $d$. The method was used to obtain analytical expressions for two missing constants in the $ε$-expansion of the most complicated master integrals contributing to the three-loop massless quark and gluon form factors and thereby present the form factors in a completely analytic form. To illustrate its power we present, at transcendentality weight seven, the next order of the $ε$-expansion of one of the corresponding most complicated master integrals. As a further application, we present three previously unknown terms of the expansion in $ε$ of the three-loop non-planar massless propagator diagram. Only multiple $ζ$ values at integer points are present in our result.
Three-loop vertex diagrams in HQET needed for sum rules for B^0 - \bar{B}^0 mixing are considered. They depend on two residual energies. An algorithm of reduction of these diagrams to master integrals has been constructed. All master integrals are calculated exactly in d dimensions; their epsilon expansions are also obtained.
