Abstract

We solve a Pad\'e-type problem of approximating three specific functions simultaneously by qq-analogues of polylogarithms, respectively by powers of the logarithm. This problem is intimately related to recent results of the authors and Wadim Zudilin ["S\'eries hyperg\'eom\'etriques basiques, fonction qq-z\^eta et s\'eries d'Eisenstein", J. Inst. Math. Jussieu (to appear)] on the dimension of the vector space generated by qq-analogues of values of the Riemann zeta function at integers. We also show that our result can be considered as a qq-analogue of a result of St\'ephane Fischler and the second author [J. Math. Pures Appl. {\bf 82} (2003), 1369-1394].
