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:

    “Yes, I am a thorough republican. No other form of government is so favorable to the growth of art.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Every child has an inner timetable for growth—a pattern unique to him. . . . Growth is not steady, forward, upward progression. It is instead a switchback trail; three steps forward, two back, one around the bushes, and a few simply standing, before another forward leap.”
    —Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
