In order to improve the theoretical prediction of the electron anomalous magnetic moment $a_e$ we have carried out a new numerical evaluation of the 389 integrals of Set V, which represent 6,354 Feynman vertex diagrams without lepton loops. During th
is work, we found that one of the integrals, called $X024$, was given a wrong value in the previous calculation due to an incorrect assignment of integration variables. The correction of this error causes a shift of $-1.25$ to the Set~V contribution, and hence to the tenth-order universal (i.e., mass-independent) term $ A_1^{(10)}$. The previous evaluation of all other 388 integrals is free from errors and consistent with the new evaluation. Combining the new and the old (excluding $X024$) calculations statistically, we obtain $7.606~(192) (alpha/pi)^5$ as the best estimate of the Set V contribution. Including the contribution of the diagrams with fermion loops, the improved tenth-order universal term becomes $A_1^{(10)}=6.678~(192)$. Adding hadronic and electroweak contributions leads to the theoretical prediction $a_e (text{theory}) =1~159~652~182.032~(720)times 10^{-12}$. From this and the best measurement of $a_e$, we obtain the inverse fine-structure constant $alpha^{-1}(a_e) = 137.035~999~1491~(331)$. The theoretical prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment is also affected by the update of QED contribution and the new value of $alpha$, but the shift is much smaller than the theoretical uncertainty.
