Polylogarithms and their various generalizations can be seen as functions given by iterated integrals.
The first part of my talk is about a very general class of such iterated integrals, called multiple polylogarithms in several variables, and the possible application of these functions in Feynman integral computations. In the second part I want to discuss a new result for the two-loop sunrise integral with arbitrary masses.
It seems that this is a case where the classes of iterated integrals used in particle physics so far (including the functions of the first part) are not sufficient to express the result.
