An elliptic surface related to sums of consecutive squares
نویسنده
چکیده
The theory of Mordell-Weil lattices is applied to a specific example of a rational elliptic surface. This provides a complete description of the sections of this surface, and of the sections which are defined over Q. The surface is related to the diophantine problem of expressing squares as a sum of consecutive squares. Some consequences which our description has to this problem are discussed.

A Singular K3 Surface Related to Sums of Consecutive Cubes
shows in particular that the sum of the first k consecutive cubes is in fact a square. A lot of related diophantine problems have been studied. For instance, Stroeker [Str] considered the question, for which integers m > 1 one can find non-trivial solutions of m3 + (m + 1)3 + . . + (m + k 1)3 = C2. In particular he found all solutions with 1 < m < 51 and with m = 98. Several authors considered ...
متن کاملOn powers that are sums of consecutive like powers
1 Background The problem of cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes goes back to Euler ([10] art. 249) who noted the remarkable relation 33 + 43 + 53 = 63. Similar problems were considered by several mathematicians during the nineteenth and early twentieth century as surveyed in Dickson’sHistory of the Theory of Numbers ([7] p. 582–588). These questions are still of interest today. For example...
متن کاملOn Sequences of Consecutive Squares on Elliptic Curves
Let C be an elliptic curve defined over Q by the equation y2 = x3+Ax+B where A,B ∈ Q. A sequence of rational points (xi, yi) ∈ C(Q), i = 1, 2, . . . , is said to form a sequence of consecutive squares on C if the sequence of x-coordinates, xi, i = 1, 2, . . ., consists of consecutive squares. We produce an infinite family of elliptic curves C with a 5-term sequence of consecutive squares. Furth...
متن کاملElliptic analogue of the Hardy sums related to elliptic Bernoulli functions
In this paper, we define generalized Hardy-Berndt sums and elliptic analogue of the generalized Hardy-Berndt sums related to elliptic Bernoulli polynomials. We give relations between the Weierstrass ℘(z)-function, Hardy-Bernd sums, theta functions and generalized Dedekind eta function. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: Primary 11F20, 11B68; Secondary 14K25, 14H42.
متن کاملMeshing Error of elliptic cylinder gear based on tooth contact analysis
In order to study the dynamic meshing characteristics of the elliptic cylinder gear and obtain the meshing error of the gear transmission system, the two-dimensional static contact analysis of the gear tooth surface is carried out by using ANSYS software, and the key parts of the contact area of the tooth surface are determined. Then, the dynamic meshing model of the elliptic cylinder gear is e...
