Abstract:
Many authors have studied the problem of finding sequences of rational
points on elliptic curves such that either the abscissae or the
ordinates of these points are in arithmetic progression. In this paper
we obtain upper bounds for the lengths of sequences of rational points
on curves of the type
y2 = x3 + k,
k ∈ Q \ {0}, such that the ordinates
of the points are in arithmetic progression, and also when both the
abscissae and the ordinates of the points are separately the terms of
two arithmetic progressions.
