Abstract:
In this paper we give a general theorem on the linear independence measure of logarithms of rational numbers and, in particular, the linear independence measure of and of . We also give a method to search for polynomials of smallest norm on a real interval which may be suitable for computing or improving the linear independence measure of logarithms of rational numbers.
