Abstract: In this work, we study elliptic divisibility sequences
over finite fields. Morgan Ward in [14], [15] gave arithmetic theory
of elliptic divisibility sequences and formulas for elliptic divisibility
sequences with rank two over finite field Fp. We study elliptic
divisibility sequences with rank three, four and five over a finite field
Fp, where p > 3 is a prime and give general terms of these sequences
and then we determine elliptic and singular curves associated with
these sequences.
Abstract: In elliptic curve theory, number of rational points on
elliptic curves and determination of these points is a fairly important
problem. Let p be a prime and Fp be a finite field and k ∈ Fp. It
is well known that which points the curve y2 = x3 + kx has and
the number of rational points of on Fp. Consider the circle family
x2 + y2 = r2. It can be interesting to determine common points of
these two curve families and to find the number of these common
points. In this work we study this problem.
Abstract: Let F(x, y) = ax2 + bxy + cy2 be a positive definite
binary quadratic form with discriminant Δ whose base points lie on
the line x = -1/m for an integer m ≥ 2, let p be a prime number
and let Fp be a finite field. Let EF : y2 = ax3 + bx2 + cx be an
elliptic curve over Fp and let CF : ax3 + bx2 + cx ≡ 0(mod p) be
the cubic congruence corresponding to F. In this work we consider
some properties of positive definite quadratic forms, elliptic curves
and cubic congruences.
Abstract: Let p be a prime number such that p ≡ 1(mod 4), say
p = 1+4k for a positive integer k. Let P = 2k + 1 and Q = k2.
In this paper, we consider the integer solutions of the Pell equation
x2-Py2 = Q over Z and also over finite fields Fp. Also we deduce
some relations on the integer solutions (xn, yn) of it.
Abstract: Let k, t, d be arbitrary integers with k ≥ 2, t ≥ 0 and
d = k2 - k. In the first section we give some preliminaries from
Pell equations x2 - dy2 = 1 and x2 - dy2 = N, where N be any
fixed positive integer. In the second section, we consider the integer
solutions of Pell equations x2 - dy2 = 1 and x2 - dy2 = 2t. We
give a method for the solutions of these equations. Further we derive
recurrence relations on the solutions of these equations
Abstract: Let X be a connected space, X be a space, let p : X -→ X be a continuous map and let (X, p) be a covering space of X. In the first section we give some preliminaries from covering spaces and their automorphism groups. In the second section we derive some algebraic properties of both universal and regular covering spaces (X, p) of X and also their automorphism groups A(X, p).
Abstract: In this work, we consider the number of integer solutions
of Diophantine equation D : y2 - 2yx - 3 = 0 over Z and
also over finite fields Fp for primes p ≥ 5. Later we determine the

for the sum of x- and y-coordinates of all rational points (x, y) on
Ep over Fp.
Abstract: Let p be a prime number, Fp be a finite field and t ∈ F*p= Fp- {0}. In this paper we obtain some properties of ellipticcurves Ep,t: y2= y2= x3- t2x over Fp. In the first sectionwe give some notations and preliminaries from elliptic curves. In the second section we consider the rational points (x, y) on Ep,t. Wegive a formula for the number of rational points on Ep,t over Fnp for an integer n ≥ 1. We also give some formulas for the sum of x?andy?coordinates of the points (x, y) on Ep,t. In the third section weconsider the rank of Et: y2= x3- t2x and its 2-isogenous curve Et over Q. We proved that the rank of Etand Etis 2 over Q. In the last section we obtain some formulas for the sums Σt∈F?panp,t for an integer n ≥ 1, where ap,t denote the trace of Frobenius.
Abstract: Let p be a prime number, Fpbe a finite field and let Qpdenote the set of quadratic residues in Fp. In the first section we givesome notations and preliminaries from elliptic curves. In the secondsection, we consider some properties of rational points on ellipticcurves Ep,b: y2= x3+ b2 over Fp, where b ∈ F*p. Recall that theorder of Ep,bover Fpis p + 1 if p ≡ 5(mod 6). We generalize thisresult to any field Fnp for an integer n≥ 2. Further we obtain someresults concerning the sum Σ[x]Ep,b(Fp) and Σ[y]Ep,b(Fp), thesum of x- and y- coordinates of all points (x, y) on Ep,b, and alsothe the sum Σ(x,0)Ep,b(Fp), the sum of points (x, 0) on Ep,b.
Abstract: In this paper, we derive some algebraic identities on
right and left neighbors R(F) and L(F) of an indefinite binary
quadratic form F = F(x, y) = ax2 + bxy + cy2 of discriminant
Δ = b2 -4ac. We prove that the proper cycle of F can be given by
using its consecutive left neighbors. Also we construct a connection
between right and left neighbors of F.
Abstract: Let D = 1 be a positive non-square integer and let δ = √D or 1+√D 2 be a real quadratic irrational with trace t =δ + δ and norm n = δδ. Let γ = P+δ Q be a quadratic irrational for positive integers P and Q. Given a quadratic irrational γ, there exist a quadratic ideal Iγ = [Q, δ + P] and an indefinite quadratic form Fγ(x, y) = Q(x−γy)(x−γy) of discriminant Δ = t
2−4n. In the first section, we give some preliminaries form binary quadratic forms, quadratic irrationals and quadratic ideals. In the second section, we obtain some results on γ, Iγ and Fγ for some specific values of Q and P.
Abstract: Let p be a prime number, Fp be a finite field, and let k ∈ F*p. In this paper, we consider the number of rational points onconics Cp,k: x2 − ky2 = 1 over Fp. We proved that the order of Cp,k over Fp is p-1 if k is a quadratic residue mod p and is p + 1 if k is not a quadratic residue mod p. Later we derive some resultsconcerning the sums ΣC[x]p,k(Fp) and ΣC[y]p,k(Fp), the sum of x- and y-coordinates of all points (x, y) on Cp,k, respectively.
