The duality relation is realized by a modification of the customary +i0 prescription of the Feynman propagators, which compensates for the absence of the multiple-cut contributions that appear in the Feynman tree theorem. We rederive the duality theorem at one-loop order in a form that is more suitable for its iterative extension to higher-loop orders. We explicitly show its application to two-and three-loop scalar master integrals, and we discuss the structure of the occurring cuts and the ensuing results in detail. %K NLO Computations %K QCD %R 10.1007/JHEP10(2010)073 %U http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/1007.0194 %U https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2010)073 %P 073-22pp
