Elliptic Divisibility Sequence - Growth of EDS

Growth of EDS

Let (Wn)n ≥ 1 be a nonsingular EDS that is not periodic. Then the sequence grows quadratic exponentially in the sense that there is a positive constant h such that

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\log |W_n|}{n^2} = h > 0.

The number h is the canonical height of the point on the elliptic curve associated to the EDS.

Famous quotes containing the words growth of and/or growth:

    “Hence, the less government we have, the better,—the fewer laws, and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of formal Government, is, the influence of private character, the growth of the Individual; the appearance of the principal to supersede the proxy; the appearance of the wise man, of whom the existing government, is, it must be owned, but a shabby imitation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.”
    —Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)
