Sector decomposition via computational geometry

Original · EN

A non-iterative method is presented for the factorization step of sector decomposition method, which separates infrared divergent part from loop integration. This method is based on a classification of asymptotic behavior of polynomials. The problem is converted to ones for convex body in Euclidean space. They are solved with algorithms developed in computational geometry. A test implementation shows that this method produces less number of decomposed sectors than usual iterative sector decompositions.
