Abstract |
|
Let be a hyperelliptic curve with the rational integers, , and the polynomial on the right-hand side irreducible. Let be its Jacobian. We give a completely explicit upper bound for the integral points on the model , provided we know at least one rational point on and a Mordell–Weil basis for . We also explain a powerful refinement of the Mordell–Weil sieve which, combined with the upper bound, is capable of determining all the integral points. Our method is illustrated by determining the integral points on the genus hyperelliptic models and . |
