These terms contribute through the renormalization of the $O(α_s^3)$ heavy flavor Wilson coefficients of the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$. The calculation has been performed using light--cone expansion techniques without using the integration-by-parts method. We represent the individual Feynman diagrams by generalized hypergeometric structures, the $ε$--expansion of which leads to infinite sums depending on the Mellin variable $N$. These sums are finally expressed in terms of nested harmonic sums using the general summation techniques implemented in the {\tt Sigma} package.42 papges, 2 style files, 3 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyMathematical Physicstext
