COMMENTS

The curves for n and -27*n are isogenous (as Noam Elkies points out--see Womack), so they have the same rank. - Jonathan Sondow, Sep 10 2013

FORMULA

a(n) = A060950(27*n) and A060950(n) = a(27*n), so a(n) = a(729*n). - Jonathan Sondow, Sep 10 2013

EXAMPLE

a(1) = A060950(27) = a(729) = 0. - Jonathan Sondow, Sep 10 2013

EXTENSIONS

Corrected Apr 08 2005 at the suggestion of James R. Buddenhagen. There were errors caused by the fact that Mishima lists each curve of rank two twice, once for each generator.
