Zusammenfassung:We investigate the radiative quantum electrodynamic (QED) corrections to the lepton ($L=e, ~\mu $ and $\tau$) anomalous magnetic moment due to the contributions of diagrams with insertions of the photon vacuum polarisation operator consisting solely of four closed lepton ($l=e, ~\mu $ and $\tau$) loops. Moreover, we focus on specific operators with two loops formed by leptons $L$ of the same type as the external one, the other two formed by leptons $\ell$ different from $L$. The approach is essentially based on the employment of the Mellin-Barnes representation of the $x$-parametrization of the corresponding Feynman diagrams. This allows one to obtain, for the first time, exact analytical expressions for the radiative corrections of the tenth order w.r.t. the electromagnetic coupling constant $e$. Analytically, the radiative corrections are expressed in terms of the ratio $r=m_\ell/m_L$ of the internal to external lepton masses. The dependence on $r$ is investigated numerically in the whole interval of $r$, $0 < r < \infty$. To make comparisons with earlier published results possible, our exact analytical expressions are expanded about $r=0$ and $r \to \infty$ and compared with the corresponding asymptotic expansions known in the literature.
