For a connected amputated Feynman diagram with the quartic Yukawa interaction in three spacetime dimensions, scalar quartic and scalar sextic vertices, b external bosonic legs, f external fermionic legs and n4​ scalar quartic vertices, the superficial degree of divergence is the displayed expression. Indeed ω=3L−2Ib​−If​, 2Ib​+b=2nY​+4n4​+6n6​, 2If​+f=2nY​ and L=Ib​+If​−nY​−n4​−n6​+1. Substitution eliminates the counts of the two marginal vertices. The bound concerns overall ultraviolet divergence, before numerator cancellations and subtraction of ultraviolet subdivergences.
