met \(X\) be a normal projective variety defined over the complex number field and let \(L\) be a Weil divisor on \(X\). If \(X\) is smooth and \(L\) is nef and big, then the base point freeness of \(K_{X}+L\) has been studied by several authors. In the case of \(\dim X=2\), \textit{I. Reider} has proved that if \(L\) is nef with \(L^{2}\geq 5\), then \(K_{X}+L\) is base point free unless there exists an effective divisor \(D\) on \(X\) such that \(LD=0\), \(D^{2}=-1\), or \(LD=1\), \(D^{2}=0\) [see Ann. Math., II. Ser. 127, 309-316 (1988; Zbl 0663.14010)]. This result gives many application of analysis of smooth projective surfaces. In the case of \(\dim X\geq 3\), Fujita proposed the following famous conjecture which is called Fujita conjecture: Let \(X\) be a smooth projective variety of \(\dim X=n\) and let \(L\) be an ample line bundle on \(X\). Then \(K_{X}+mL\) is base point free if \(m\geq n+1\). Moreover if \(L^{n}\geq 2\), then \(K_{X}+nL\) is also base point free. In the case of \(\dim X=3\) and \(4\), this conjecture is true. These facts have been proved by \textit{L. Ein} and \textit{R. Lazarsfeld} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 6, 875-903 (1993; Zbl 0803.11004)] and \textit{Y. Kawamata} [Math. Ann. 308, 491-505 (1997; Zbl 0909.14001)]. For the case where \(X\) is a normal surface, the author and \textit{V. Masek} gave a very nice result which is a generalization of Reider's theorem. [In detail see \textit{T. Kawachi} and \textit{V. Masek}, J. Algebr. Geom. 7, 239-249 (1998; Zbl 0951.14003).] In this paper, the author treats the case where \(L\) is a nef and big \(\mathbb{Q}\)-divisor such that \(K_{X}+\lceil L\rceil\) is a Cartier divisor, and he gives a criterion of base point freeness of \(|K_{X }+\lceil L\rceil|\) and a sketch of proof of this result. We stress that his result contains some results of \textit{A. Langer} [J. Algebr. Geom. 8, 41-66 (1999; Zbl 0943.94028)] and \textit{V. Masek} [Int. J. Math. 9, 623-640 (1998; Zbl 0932.14017)].
