Abstract: For a real $Nge1$ and a vector $xi=(1,x{i}_1,\mathrm{...},x{i}_n)$ define a matrix ${\displaystyle }$ {cal A} (xi, N) = ({array}{ccccc} N^{-1} & 0& 0& ... &0 cr N^{frac{1}{n}} xi_1 & -N^{frac{1}{n}} & 0&... & 0 cr N^{frac{1}{n}} xi_2 &0& -N^{frac{1}{n}} & ... & 0 cr ... &... &... &... cr N^{frac{1}{n}} xi_n &0&0&... &- N^{frac{1}{n}} {array}) ${\displaystyle }$ and a lattice ${\displaystyle }$ Lambda (xi, N) = {cal A} (xi, N)mathbb{Z}^{n+1}. ${\displaystyle }$ Consider a convex 0-symmetric body ${\displaystyle }${cal W} = {z= (x,y_1,...,y_n)in mathbb{R}^{n+1}: max (|x|, |y|)le 1 } >.${\displaystyle }$ For a natural $l,1lellen+1$ let $m{u}_l(xi,N)$ be the $l$-th successive minimum of $calW$ with respect to $Lambda(xi,N)$. We prove that there exist real numbers $x{i}_1,\mathrm{...},x{i}_n$ linearly independent together with 1 over $mathbbZ$, such that $m{u}_k(xi,N)o0$ as $Noinfty$ and $m{u}_{k+2}(xi,N)oinfty$ as $Noinfty$.
