Abstract We present calculation of FL in the double-logarithmic approximation (DLA) and demonstrate that the synergic effect of the factor 1/x from the $$ {\alpha}_s^2 $$ α s 2 -order and the steep x-dependence of the totally resummed double logarithmic contributions of higher orders ensures the power-like rise of FL at small x and arbitrary Q2.
