Abstract: Let $X$ be a finite type simply connected rationally elliptic CW-complex with Sullivan minimal model $(LambdaV,d)$ and let $kgeq2$ the biggest integer such that $d=su{m}_{igeqk}{d}_i$ with $d_i(V)subseteqLambd{a}^{i}V$. We show that: $cat(X_{mathbbQ})=depht(LambdaV,d_k)$ if and only if $(LambdaV,d_k)$ is elliptic. This result is obtained by introducing tow new spectral sequences that generalize the Milnor-Moore spectral sequence and its $mathcalExt$-version cite{Mur94}. As a corollary, we recover a known result proved - with different methods - by L. Lechuga and A. Murillo in cite{LM02} and G. Lupton in cite{Lup02}: If $(LambdaV,d_k)$ is elliptic, then $cat(X_{mathbbQ})=dim(p{i}_{odd}(X)otimesmathbbQ)+(k-2)dim(p{i}_{even}(X)otimesmathbbQ)$. In the case of a field $IK$ of $char(IK)=p$ (an odd prim) we obtain an algebraic approach for $e_{IK}(X)$ where $X$ is an $r$-connected ($rgeq1$) finite CW-complex such that $p>dim(X)/r$.
