چکیده

Let D = (Dn)n≥1 be an elliptic divisibility sequence. We study the set S(D) of indices n satisfying n | Dn. In particular, given an index n ∈ S(D), we explain how to construct elements nd ∈ S(D), where d is either a prime divisor of Dn, or d is the product of the primes in an aliquot cycle for D. We also give bounds for the exceptional indices that are not constructed in this way.

Prime powers in elliptic divisibility sequences

Certain elliptic divisibility sequences are shown to contain only finitely many prime power terms. In some cases the methods prove that only finitely many terms are divisible by a bounded number of distinct primes.

Prime power terms in elliptic divisibility sequences

We study a problem on specializations of multiples of rational points on elliptic curves analogous to the Mersenne problem. We solve this problem when descent via isogeny is possible by giving explicit bounds on the indices of prime power terms in elliptic divisibility sequences associated to points in the image of a nontrivial isogeny. We also discuss the uniformity of these bounds assuming th...

Algebraic Divisibility Sequences over Function Fields

In this note we study the existence of primes and of primitive divisors in function field analogues of classical divisibility sequences. Under various hypotheses, we prove that Lucas sequences and elliptic divisibility sequences over function fields defined over number fields contain infinitely many irreducible elements. We also prove that an elliptic divisibility sequence over a function field...

A characterization of m-dependent stationary infinitely divisible sequences with applications to weak convergence

m-dependent stationary infinitely divisible sequences are characterized as a certain generalized finite moving average sequence or equivalently via the structure of their Lévy measure. This characterization is used to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of centered and normalized partial sums of m-dependent stationary infinitely divisible sequences. Partial sum con...
