contents The two-loop electron self-energy correction is one of the most problematic QED effects and, for a long time, was the dominant source of uncertainty in the theoretical prediction of the bound-electron $g$ factor in hydrogen-like ions. A major breakthrough was recently achieved in [B. Sikora et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 123001 (2025)], where this effect was calculated without any expansion in the nuclear binding strength parameter $Zα$ (where $Z$ is the nuclear charge number and $α$ is the fine-structure constant). In this paper, we describe our calculations of one of the most difficult parts of the two-loop self-energy, represented by Feynman diagrams that are treated in the mixed momentum-coordinate representation.
