We give predictions for the ratio RQ(x, Q2) = \(F_{L}^{Q}\)(x, Q2)/\(F_{2}^{Q}\)(x, Q2) at small values of Bjorken variable x in the first three orders of perturbation theory. We show an approximate x-independence of RQ(x, Q2) at low x and non-large Q2 values (Q2 ≤ 8–10\(m_{Q}^{2}\)), irrespectively on the gluon density in a proton used in the calculations. This observation could be useful in subsequent phenomenological studies of the heavy flavor production at future lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron colliders.
