Jan 14, 2015 at 4:32 comment added individ I think it is necessary to substitute $(1)$ in $(2),(3)$ . Then you need to reformulate the problem as the solution to this system of 2 equations. If you want to make it so, and then we will solve the system.

Jan 13, 2015 at 19:37 comment added Jesper Petersen If I am understanding the link between the diophantine equation of the title and the family of curves $D$ correctly, then while there is an abundance of curves of zero rank, it might be of interest to look for a subfamily of $D$ of higher rank.
Jan 13, 2015 at 18:35 comment added Tito Piezas III @JeremyRouse: I think you mean $x = 0, y = \pm c_2$. I cobbled up some basic Mathematica code and found that $$n =1/2,\, 1/8,\, 5/3,\, 5/4,\, 5/13,\, 7/9,\, 11/2,\, 11/16,\,17/9\,\dots$$ will do. Quite a lot, it seems

Clarify.
Jan 13, 2015 at 17:52 comment added Jeremy Rouse I didn't find any other than the fairly silly $x = 0$, $y = \pm c_{1}$. I think it's quite likely that your elliptic surface has rank zero, given that it has many rank zero specializations.

Jan 13, 2015 at 17:27 comment added Tito Piezas III @JeremyRouse: Yes, did you find some?
Jan 13, 2015 at 17:04 comment added Jeremy Rouse Would solutions where $x$ and $y$ are rational functions in $n$ be admissible?
Jan 13, 2015 at 16:12 comment added Tito Piezas III @LaurentMoret-Bailly: A polynomial solution to $(1)$ is simply to express $x,y$ as polynomials $p_1(n), p_2(n)$ in terms of $n$. Or express $x,y,n$ as polynomials $p_1(m),p_2(m),p_3(m)$ in terms of some variable $m$. For example, the simplest is $x = -\frac{4(n^3-9n)}{7(n^2+3)}$ but this makes $y=0$.
Jan 13, 2015 at 8:12 comment added GH from MO I don't understand the question either. Please clarify.
Jan 13, 2015 at 7:26 comment added Laurent Moret-Bailly I don't understand the question, but the upvotes suggest I may be dumb.
