On unimprovable estimates with respect to the height of some linear forms. (Russian) Zbl 0559.10028
Let I denote the field of rational numbers or an imaginary quadratic field, and denote by $$Z_ I$$ the ring of integers of I. Let $$\lambda_ 1,...,\lambda_ s\in I$$, each different from -1,-2,..., and let $$a\in Z_ I$$ be such that $$a\neq 0$$, $$a\lambda_ j\in Z_ I$$, $$j=1,...,s$$. Define $\Psi (z)=\sum^{\infty}_{\nu =0}\frac{z^{\nu}}{a^{s\nu +\nu}\nu ![\lambda_ 1+1,\nu]...[\lambda_ s+1,\nu]},$ where $$[\lambda +1,0]=1$$, $$[\lambda +1,\nu]=(\lambda +1)...(\lambda +\nu)$$ for $$\nu =1,2,...$$. The author continues his research [Mat. Zametki 8, 19-28 (1970; Zbl 0219.10035), ibid. 20, 35-45 (1976; Zbl 0336.10028)] on linear forms $$R=\sum^{s}_{k=1}h_ k \Psi^{(k)}(1/b)$$, $$b,h_ k\in Z_ I$$, $$b\neq 0$$, giving proofs for the following sharp estimates announced in his note [Prog. Math. 31, 95-98 (1983; Zbl 0521.10027)]. There exists an effectively computable positive constant $$C_ 1=C_ 1(a,b,\lambda_ 1,...,\lambda_ s)$$ such that any linear form R with $$H=\max_{0\leq k\leq s}| h_ k| >3$$ satisfies $| R| >C_ 1 \Phi (H),\quad \Phi (H)=H^{-s} (\ln H)^{-s(1-\Delta)} (\ln \ln H)^{s(r- \Delta)},$ and here $$\Delta$$, r are explicitly given constants depending on $$\lambda_ 1,...,\lambda_ s$$. Further, there exists an effectively computable positive constant $$C_ 2=C_ 2(a,b,\lambda_ 1,...,\lambda_ s)$$ such that $$| R| <C_ 2 \Phi (H)$$ for infinitely many forms R.
