Symmetric Diophantine systems and families of elliptic curves of high rank (Q2326028)

In this long paper the author, using an elementary approach to construct some elliptic curves over field of rational functions in several variables, with generic rank \(\geq 8\). The proposed method relies on the existence of rational solutions of certain symmetric Diophantine equations and is similar (but not the same) to the method used by \textit{J.-F. Mestre} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 313, No. 4, 171--174 (1991; Zbl 0749.14026)] to construct elliptic curves with high rank. The paper is easy to read and contains several examples.
