| Bug in ellap (?) |
Hi folks,
I have found a strange thing about ellap. As is well known, when
E:Y^2=X^3+aX with p = 3 mod 4, then ap = 0. Yet, trying the following:
{bug(nmin, nmax, p)=
for(n = nmin, nmax,
p = 10^n+3;
while(isprime(p) == 0, p = p+4);
print("n=", n, " p=", p, " -> ",ellap(ellinit([0,0,0,2,0]),p));
);
}
I got:

What happened?
Since I am curious, I tried with Y^2=X^3+b and p=2 mod 3:
n=2 p=311 -> 0
n=3 p=3011 -> 0
n=4 p=30011 -> 0
n=5 p=300017 -> 0
n=6 p=3000017 -> 0
n=7 p=30000023 -> 0
n=8 p=300000047 -> 0
n=9 p=3000000077 -> -1
n=10 p=30000000053 -> -1
n=11 p=300000000077 -> -1
n=12 p=3000000000167 -> 1

n=14 p=300000000000089 -> 1
n=15 p=3000000000000041 -> 1
n=16 p=30000000000000029 -> -1
n=17 p=300000000000000011 -> -1
n=18 p=3000000000000000059 -> -1
n=19 p=30000000000000000041 -> 1
n=20 p=300000000000000000053 -> -1
Any idea? Related to p getting too large (> 2^31)???
