Abstract

Let n be a positive odd integer. In this paper, combining some properties of quadratic and quartic diophantine equations with elementary analysis, we prove that if n > 1 and both 6 n 2 - 1 and 12 n 2 + 1 are odd primes, then the general elliptic curve y 2 = x 3 + ( 36 n 2 - 9 ) x - 2 ( 36 n 2 - 5 ) has only the integral point ( x , y ) = ( 2 , 0 ) . By this result we can get that the above elliptic curve has only the trivial integral point for n = 3 , 13 , 17 etc. Thus it can be seen that the elliptic curve y 2 = x 3 + 27 x - 62 really is an unusual elliptic curve which has large integral points.
