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:

    “Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “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)
