Abstract

We extend a result of Spearman which provides a sufficient condition for elliptic curves of the form y2 = x3 - px, with p a prime, to have Mordell-Weil rank 2. As in Spearman's work, the condition given here involves the existence of integer points on these curves.

Keywords

Elliptic curve; prime number
