On the difference between the ordinary height and the canonical height on elliptic curves. (Q863745)

Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over a number field \(K\). Let \(h\) be the Weil height and \(\widehat h\) be the canonical height on \(E/K\). It is known that there are constants \(c_1\) and \(c_2\), depending on the equation of \(E\), such that for all \(P\in E(K)\), one has the equalities \(c_1\leq h(P)-\widehat h(P)\leq c_2\). There are many results published in the literature concerning the estimation of such constants. These bounds are used to the determine Mordell-Weil basis and integral points on \(E(K)\). In this paper, the author announces effective bounds for the difference \(h-\widehat h\), which are usually sharper than the other known bounds.
