Primitive divisors of elliptic divisibility sequences for elliptic curves with j=1728

Abstract: Take a rational elliptic curve defined by the equation

y^{2} = x^{3} + a x

in minimal form and consider the sequence

B_{n}

of the denominators of the abscissas of the iterate of a non-torsion point; we show that

B_{5 m}

has a primitive divisor for every

m

. Then, we show how to generalize this method to the terms in the form

B_{m p}

with

p

a prime congruent to

1

modulo

4

.
