An explicit lower bound for a homogeneous rational linear form in logarithms of algebraic numbers

In this paper we study linear forms with rational integer coefficients (, ), where the are algebraic numbers satisfying the so-called strong independence condition. In standard notation, we prove an explicit estimate of the form Its novel feature is that it contains no factors of the form .
