| contents | In this article, we construct new Padé approximations for the \emph{product} of binomial functions and powers of logarithmic functions. While several explicit Padé approximants are known for powers of exponential functions, binomial functions, and logarithmic functions individually, an explicit Padé construction for the product of these functions has not yet been directly achieved. Our main result yields arithmetic applications, providing new linear independence measures for linear forms in $(1+α)^{ω_i}\log^{j_i}(1+α)$ for $1 \le i \le m$ and $0 \le j_i \le r_i - 1$, where $0 < m, r_1, \ldots, r_m \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$, $ω_1, \ldots, ω_m \in \mathbb{Q}$, and $0 \le ω_1 < \cdots < ω_m < 1$. These results hold with algebraic coefficients in both the complex and $p$-adic cases. Additionally, we establish that Padé approximation of a single polylogarithm is, in general, perfect. |
