Abstract: Let $k$ be an infinite field of characteristic 0, and $X$ a del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ with at least one $k$-rational point. Various methods from algebraic geometry and arithmetic statistics have shown the Zariski density of the set $X(k)$ of $k$-rational points in $X$ for $dgeq2$ (under an extra condition for $d=2$), but fail to work in generality when the degree of $X$ is 1, leaving a large class of del Pezzo surfaces for which the question of density of rational points is still open. In this paper, we prove the Zariski density of $X(k)$ when $X$ has degree 1 and is represented in the weighted projective space $mathbbP(2,3,1,1)$ with coordinates $x,y,z,w$ by an equation of the form $y^2=x^3+a{z}^6+b{z}^3{w}^3+c{w}^6$ for $a,b,cink$ with $a,c$ non-zero, under the condition that the elliptic surface obtained by blowing up the base point of the anticanonical linear system $|-K_X|$ contains a smooth fiber above a point in $mathbb{P}^{1}setminus(1:0),(0:1)$ with positive rank over $k$. When $k$ is of finite type over $mathbbQ$, this condition is sufficient and necessary.
