Define the ECHO sequence {bn} recursively by (b 0 , b 1 , b 2 , b 3 ) = (1, 1, 2, 1) and for n ≥ 4,We relate this sequence {bn} to the coordinates of points on the elliptic curve E : y 2 + y = x 3 − 3x + 4. We use Galois representations attached to E to prove that the density of primes dividing a term in this sequence is equal to 179 336 . Furthermore, we describe an infinite family of elliptic curves whose Galois images match those of E.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
