Let with linearly independent, , and . For every , if a reduced rational has sufficiently large denominator in terms of and , then has multiplicity at most at , for every fixed real .
Indeed, the nonzero Wronskianhas degree below and height at most . A zero of multiplicity of forces a zero of multiplicity at least of . By Gauss lemma for polynomials, then divides in , so divides the leading coefficient of and is at most .
