Abstract

Let A,B be nonzero rational numbers. Consider the elliptic curve EA,B/Q(t) with Weierstrass equation y2=x3+At6+B. An algorithm to determine rankEA,B(Q(t)) as a function of (A,B) was presented in a recent paper Desjardins and Naskręcki (2024). We will give a different and shorter proof for the correctness of that algorithm, using a more geometric approach and discuss for which classes of examples the approach by Desjardins and Naskręcki (2024) might be useful.
