Rational points on elliptic curves over the rationals Computing the full group Even if the points found by ellrank have full rank, they might generate a subgroup (of finite index) of the Mordell-Weil group. The function ellsaturation attempts to obtain the full group ? E=ellinit([0,0,1,-7,6]); ? R=ellrank(E) %22 = [3,3,0,[[-1,3],[-3,0],[11,35]]] ? S=ellsaturation(E,R[4],500) %23 = [[1,-1],[2,-1],[0,-3]] The number 500 means that we only check that no prime p < 500 divides the index of the subgroup.
