A criterion for linear independence, due to Yu. V. Nesterenko plays a central role in many investigations concerning linear independence results and measures, including proofs of irrationality and irrationality measures. The initial proof by Nesterenko has been simplified by F. Amoroso and P. Colmez. Another approach has been introduced by S. Fischler and W. Zudilin. In the paper under review, the author pursues her investigation [A. Chantanasiri, On the criteria for linear independence of Nesterenko, Fischler and Zudilin, Chamchuri J. Math. 2, No 1, 31–46 (2010)], where she extended the method of Fischler and Zudilin and studied sequences of numbers in place of tuples of numbers, obtaining also criteria for transcendence and algebraic independence. Here, she develops both methods and compares carefully the results which can be derived. She studies the real, complex and ultrametric cases. Finally, she investigates the optimality of her results.
