Roth-type approximation conjecture for values of E-functions

Let ff be an EE-function and let z0Qz_0\in\overline{\mathbb Q}. For any ε>0\varepsilon>0, there exists c>0c>0 such that for every (p,q)Z×N(p,q)\in\mathbb Z\times\mathbb N with q0q\neq 0, either qf(z0)p=0qf(z_0)-p=0 or

f(z0)pq>cq2+ε.\left|f(z_0)-\frac{p}{q}\right|>\frac{c}{q^{2+\varepsilon}}.

This is Roth's theorem when f(z0)f(z_0) is algebraic; for general values of E-functions, the conjecture predicts the optimal irrationality measure and remains open.
