Choose logarithms of nonzero algebraic numbers , putand choose large enough to bound the naive polynomial height of the minimal polynomial of and . After relabelling the terms if useful, setThere is an effectively computable constant , depending only on and the degree of the number field generated by the , such that
The division by is the useful refinement over the general lower bound for a linear form in logarithms when one algebraic number has a large height correlated with a coefficient.
