Abstract :
The Mordell-Weil theorem states that the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over the rational numbers is a finitely generated abelian group. In our previous paper, H. Daghigh, and S. Didari, On the elliptic curves of the form y²=x³−3px, Bull. Iranian Math. Soc. 40 (2014), no. 5, 1119--1133., using Selmer groups, we have shown that for a prime p the rank of elliptic curve y²=x³−3px is at most two. In this paper we go further, and using height function, we will determine the Mordell-Weil group of a family of elliptic curves of the form y²=x³−3nx, and give a set of its generators under certain conditions. We will introduce an infinite family of elliptic curves with rank at least two. The full Mordell-Weil group and the generators of a family (which is expected to be infinite under the assumption of a standard conjecture) of elliptic curves with exact rank two will be described.
