摘要

In this article, we give a new lower bound for the dimension of the linear space over the rationals spanned by 1 and values of polylogarithmic functions at a non-zero rational number. Our proof uses Pade approximation following the argument of T. Rivoal, however we adapt a new linear independence criterion due to S. Fischler and W. Zudilin. We also present an example of the linear space of dimension %26gt;= 3 over Q, which is generated by 1 and polylogarithms.
