Let \\(\\Gamma\\) be a subgroup of the multiplicative group \\((K^*)^m\\) of finite rank \\(r\\). Given \\(a_1,\\dots,a_n\\in K^*\\), let \\(A(a_1,\\dots,a_n,\\Gamma)\\) be the number of solutions \\(x = (x_1,\\dots,x_n)\\in \\Gamma\\) of the equation \\(a_1x_1 + \\dots + a_nx_n = 1\\) such that no proper subsum of \\(a_1x_1 + \\dots + a_nx_n\\) vanishes. The main result of the paper is  \\[  A(a_1,\\dots,a_n,\\Gamma) \\leq A(n,r) = \\exp((6n)^{3n}(r+1)).  \\]  As remarked by the authors, the essential feature of their inequality is uniformity, since \\(A(n,r)\\) is independent of \\(K\\) and of the coefficients \\(a_1,\\dots,a_n\\). Moreover, although the upper bound \\(A(n,r)\\) is probably far from best possible, a number of examples show that a certain dependence on \\(n\\) and \\(r\\) is needed.    In particular cases, even better upper bounds for \\(A(a_1,\\dots,a_n,\\Gamma)\\) had already been proved: for \\(n=2\\) one has the estimate \\( A(a_1,a_2,\\Gamma) \\leq 2^{9(r+1)}\\) [\\textit{F. Beukers} and \\textit{H. P. Schlickewei}, Acta Arith. 78, 189-199 (1996; Zbl 0880.11034)] and for \\(r=0\\) and arbitrary \\(n\\) one has the estimate \\(A(a_1,\\dots,a_n,\\Gamma) \\leq (n+1)^{3(n+1)^2}\\) [\\textit{J.-H. Evertse}, Acta Arith. 89, 45-51 (1999; Zbl 0974.11012)]. However, for all other cases the result is new.    Also, for \\(K\\) a number field, \\(\\Gamma\\) may be viewed as a subgroup of the group of \\(S\\)-units of \\(K\\) (where \\(S\\) is a finite set of places of \\(K\\) including the Archimedean places), and the finiteness of \\(A(a_1,\\dots,a_n,\\Gamma)\\) had already been established (the first result is due to Mahler for \\(n=2\\)). An explicit upper bound was found by Schlickewei and Schmidt, but this upper bound depended not only on \\(n\\) and \\(r\\) but also on the degree \\(d=[K:{\\mathbb Q}]\\) of the number field \\(K\\). The result of the paper finally solves the problem of finding a bound independent of \\(d\\).    In a second theorem, the authors apply their main result to linear recurrence sequences of order \\(n\\). It is known after Skolem-Mahler-Lech that, if \\(u_m\\) is a linear recurrence sequence, the solutions \\(k\\) of \\(u_k=0\\) are contained in a finite set of arithmetical progressions plus a finite set. The bound for the number of arithmetical progressions plus the number of points proved in the paper is \\(\\exp((6n)^{3n})\\), hence only doubly exponential in \\(n\\), improving on an estimate of Schmidt, which is triply exponential.    The proofs use mainly two tools: the quantitative version of the Subspace Theorem, proved by Evertse and Schlickewei, to deal with large solutions and a method of Schmidt, involving lower bounds for the height of points in algebraic varieties, to deal with small solutions.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1871556$252D2A20-11E4-494B-9782-8C31364C15BC","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"12c559066209c4c04d1937e81cbb71b12f019daa","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":503718,"id":"Q503718"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1871556$1BE2A65A-7C43-4186-9C3A-AB285927FD38","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"83f071a227a82a2fbae9e00865d40aae78fee790","datavalue":{"value":"11D45","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1871556$27C96FE1-504B-4C19-BEC3-4A4CF884F5DF","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"f31233b552eca4a4ba62dfc962e070217fef4dcf","datavalue":{"value":"11D04","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1871556$794C9BED-AD14-4CCA-9382-9E4E1CE8550F","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"749538f7e9eae112bb52a8add428d04575d1619a","datavalue":{"value":"1908050","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1871556$EFCB97DF-0AB0-4D5E-8169-79D4A33712C4","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"58ac6701bff6972da991c5209d8dad72896f4570","datavalue":{"value":"linear
