L. Koivula (Finland), O. Sankilampi (Finland) and K. Väänänen (Finland)

Abstract

The paper gives a linear independence measure for the values of Tschakaloff function and its derivatives. This result is then applied to estimate the approximation of a q-analogue of the classical zeta value by certain algebraic numbers.

Keywords and phrases: linear independence measure, Tschakaloff function.
