Elliptic Divisibility Sequence - Examples

Examples

A simple example of an EDS is the sequence of natural numbers 1, 2, 3,… . Another interesting example is the sequence 1, 3, 8, 21, 55, 144, 377, 987,… consisting of every other term in the Fibonacci sequence, starting with the second term. However, both of these sequences satisfy a linear recurrence and both are singular EDS. An example of a nonsingular EDS is

\begin{align} &1,\, 1,\, -1,\, 1,\, 2,\, -1,\, -3,\, -5,\, 7,\, -4,\, -23,\, 29,\, 59,\, 129,\\ &-314,\, -65,\, 1529,\, -3689,\, -8209,\, -16264,\dots.\\ \end{align}

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    “Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
