The first elliptic analogue of the results of Brownawell, Shmelev and Waldschmidt on small transcendence degrees for numbers of the type \(\exp (u_ iv_ j)\) have been obtained by \textit{D. W. Masser} and \textit{G. Wüstholz} [Journées arithmétiques, Exeter 1980, Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 56, 360-363 (1982; Zbl 0491.10025)] thanks to their zero estimates on group varieties. Their extension of these zero estimates to multiplicities in a given direction provides the author with the main tool for the study, given in the present article, of small transcendence degrees for the elliptic analogue of the \(\{u_ i,v_ j,\exp (u_ iv_ j)\}\) problem. For a generalization to arbitrary commutative algebraic groups, see the author's article [J. Number Theory 25, 279-307 (1987; Zbl 0608.10036)].
