Abstract
By calculating some four-loop diagrams in the N=1 supersymmetric electrodynamics regularized by higher derivatives, we verify a method for summing Feynman diagrams based on using Schwinger-Dyson equations and Ward identities. In particular, for the diagrams considered, we prove the correctness of an additional identity for Green’s functions not reduced to the gauge Ward identity.
