Re: Integral points on elliptic curves


Also method of adding torsion points can be use if we have two small 
points 123, 519 we can find all other torsion points because order of 
group of each elliptic curve can be determined independent method (I 
have Mathematica procedure on adding points on elliptic curve). Of 
course all integral points of elliptic curve are integer but not vice versa.
If elliptic curve isn't singular number of integer points can't be 
bigger as 16 (is proof). Of course torsion points can be rational but 
never point of infinite order isn't integer.
Theory of elliptic curves is very expanded in recent time and MAGMA 
contained newest algorhitms
if we use
Sort([ p[1] : p in IntegralPoints(EllipticCurve([0, -1641843])) ]);

on MAGMA online culculator
http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/calc/

results are
[ 123, 519, 5853886516781223 ]

I was think about implemnted these algorhitms in Mathematica
