Their result disagrees strongly with the value previously obtained by numerical evaluation of exact eighth-order integrals. We have identified the cause of this discrepancy to be an incorrect four-loop Callan-Symanzik β-function. Using the corrected β-function, which takes the effect of finite electron mass into account, we find that the result of Faustov et al. agrees very well with that of numerical integration.}, pages = {235--240}, title = {Asymptotic photon propagator in massive QED and the muon anomalous magnetic moment}, volume = {254}, year = {1991} }
