Abstract

In recent years there has been an interest in using elliptic logarithms to find integral points on elliptic curves defined over the rationals, see [23], [17], [6] and [12]. This has been partly due to work of David [5], who gave an explicit lower bound for linear forms in elliptic logarithms. Previously, integral points on elliptic curves had been found by Siegel's method; that is, a reduction to a set of Thue equations which could be solved, in principle, by the methods in [19]. For examples of this method see [3], [7], [16], [18], [21], [22] and [8]. Other techniques can be used to find all integral points in some special cases, see, for instance, [14].
