Feynman one-loop integral ##I_{21}##

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the evaluation of the one-loop integral ##I_{21}## using a general formula for multi-loop integrals. The initial expression derived for ##I_{2,1}## included a problematic term ##\frac{1}{\epsilon-1}##, which was expanded and simplified. After further calculations, the result was refined to show that ##I_{2,1}## relates to ##I_{20}## and includes a correction term. The final expression confirms that ##I_{2,1}## can be represented as a function of ##\epsilon##, indicating a dependency on the regularization parameter. The calculations suggest that the approach taken is valid and leads to a consistent result.

Homework Statement
I need to determine Feynman one-loop integrals to work out some Feynman diagrams, in particular ##I_{2,1}##.
Relevant Equations
$$I_{n,m}=\frac{1}{(4\pi)^2}\frac{\Gamma(m+2-\frac{\epsilon}{2})}{\Gamma(2-\frac{\epsilon}{2})\Gamma(n)}\frac{1}{\Delta^{n-m-2}}(\frac{4\pi M^2}{\Delta})^{\frac{\epsilon}{2}}\Gamma(n-m-2+\frac{\epsilon}{2})$$
Starting from the general formula:
$$I_{n,m}=\frac{1}{(4\pi)^2}\frac{\Gamma(m+2-\frac{\epsilon}{2})}{\Gamma(2-\frac{\epsilon}{2})\Gamma(n)}\frac{1}{\Delta^{n-m-2}}(\frac{4\pi M^2}{\Delta})^{\frac{\epsilon}{2}}\Gamma(n-m-2+\frac{\epsilon}{2})$$
I arrived to the following:
$$I_{2,1}=\frac{\Delta}{(4\pi)^2}\frac{(2-\frac{\epsilon}{2})}{(\epsilon-1)}[\frac{2}{\epsilon}-\gamma+ln(\frac{4\pi M^2}{\Delta})-\gamma\frac{\epsilon}{2}ln(\frac{4\pi M^2}{\Delta})+O(\epsilon)]$$
The term ##\frac{1}{\epsilon-1}## is giving me some trouble so I expanded it and, after removing terms proportional to ##\epsilon##, finally got:

$$I_{2,1}=-2\Delta I_{20}-\frac{\Delta}{(4\pi)^2}$$

Can someone confirm if this is the correct result?

Edit: I think I got the right result. After some more work I got to :$$I_{2,1}=\frac{1}{\epsilon}\bigg(2\Delta I_{20}+\frac{\Delta}{(4\pi)^2}\bigg)+O(\epsilon^0)$$
