Abstract: We give upper-bounds for the dimension of some linear systems. The theorem improves the differential Horace method introduced by Alexander-Hirschowitz, and was conjectured by Simpson. Possible applications are the calculus of the dimension of linear systems of hypersurfaces in a projective space

P P^{n}

with generically prescribed singularities, and the calculus of collisions of fat points in

P P^{2}

. These applications will be treated independently but a simple example in the introduction explains how the theorem will be used.
