The patch trac_10973 should apply w/o problems against sage-4.7.alpha1.
The previous attachments are replaced by this one.

This patch is related to, and appears to fix, the problem described by #10152.

Updated patch with code to reject requests w/o generators; replaces previous patch of same name.

minor error in all.py, +from ell_int_points.py import *
should be +from ell_int_points import *
The new patch that I will be uploading in a minute fixes that.

This should do it. This is a small fix to the previous patch, it now passes the tests.

Please see the rather long file report.txt that I posted with a bunch of issues I noticed when reading through trac_10973.3.patch.

Trac10973.4.patch addresses everything in report.txt.
This returns the same result as the original integral_points over Q
with all curves of conductor up to 1000 (and also agrees with Magma). This also finds the missing points referred to in ticket #10152.
We compared times on all curves over Q
of conductor less then 1000; the original implementation was usually 2 to 8
times faster, though in certain instances it did not find all integral points (this was ticket #10152). So this is a bit of a slowdown.
If E
is a curve over Q
, then E.integral_points() calls the method in ell_rational_points.py (the previous, faster, not always correct, method).

Replying to aly.deines:
If
E
is a curve overQ
, then E.integral_points() calls the method in ell_rational_points.py (the previous, faster, not always correct, method).
Why? Surely it would definitely be better to return a correct answer by default. I can imagine leaving the old code in with an not-by-default option to call it and docs that mention it is faster.

Here's a list of curves where your code and the latest (?) Magma V2.17-4 give different answers. I checked these by hand, and Magma is clearly totally wrong (missing definitely integral points) in each case.
1264i1, 1328b1, 1656f1, 1848i1

1264i1, 1328b1, 1656f1, 1848i1
Update. Using Sage-4.7.2 and Magma V2.17-9, these all agree:
sage: E = EllipticCurve("1264i1") sage: E.integral_points() [(2 : 0 : 1), (4 : 10 : 1), (18 : 80 : 1), (246404 : 122312970 : 1)] sage: magma(E).IntegralPoints() [ (2 : 0 : 1), (4 : -10 : 1), (18 : 80 : 1), (246404 : 122312970 : 1) ] sage: E = EllipticCurve("1328b1") sage: E.integral_points() [(2 : 2 : 1), (4386 : 290438 : 1)] sage: magma(E).IntegralPoints() [ (2 : 2 : 1), (4386 : 290438 : 1) ] sage: E = EllipticCurve("1656f1") sage: E.integral_points() [(3 : 0 : 1), (6 : 18 : 1), (27 : 144 : 1), (336678 : 195353910 : 1)] sage: magma(E).IntegralPoints() [ (3 : 0 : 1), (6 : -18 : 1), (27 : 144 : 1), (336678 : -195353910 : 1) ] sage: E = EllipticCurve("1848i1") sage: E.integral_points() [(2 : 3 : 1), (3206 : 181557 : 1)] sage: magma(E).IntegralPoints() [ (2 : 3 : 1), (3206 : 181557 : 1) ]
That is using vanilla Sage (i.e. without any patches from this ticket). I am about to do a more systematic test.

I am testing this now. It looks as if all the points raised in William's last report have been dealt with.
It looks odd to me to have the main integral_points function which is a method of the EllipticCurve_number_field class defined in a separate file, so that in ell_number_field.py you only see the line integral_points = integral_points. I did not know that would work! But, given that it does, it is cleaner. I will check to see that the documentation is not thereby hidden.

Positive review. In my reviewer's patch I fix the following:
- Now applies to 4.7.2 with no fuzz.
- Added QQ to import list on line 332 of ell_number_field.py, otherwise testing ell_int_pts failed, but testing ell_number_field did not -- since the test for that function silverman_height_bounds was incomplete! I fixed that too.
- Fixed a warning in docbuild by adding a blank line at line 69 of the same file.
It is now true that for an elliptic curve E over Q we have both the new E.silverman_height_bounds(), which gives lower and upper bounds, and the old E.silverman_height_bound(), which only gives one of them. The latter can be deleted but that will require some tweaking of any code which uses it. I have left that for another ticket.

The first curve where Sage-4.7.2 fails to find the same number of integral points as Magma V2.17-9 is 2082a1 where Sage-4.7.2 finds x-coordinates -11,-2,4,13 but not 507525709 (!). But the new version does find that last one.
I will carry on testing, but there is no need to delay merging this (expect perhaps if I find a curve for which the new code fails to find all known points).

For all curves of conductor up to 10000, there are precisely 3 where Sage-4.7.2 misses integral points compared with Magma V2.17-9, namely 2082a1, 6104b1, 8470g1, 8470g2; in each case just one point is missed. And the new code agrees with Magma in all these cases. Regarding timings, up to 10000 Sage-4.7.2 took 157m while Magma took 943m; that may be an unfair comparison though since Sage took generators from the DB while Magma (I think) computed them from scratch. I will redo this with the current patch applied.

I unfortunately get several doctest failures (with sage-4.8.alpha2 + various patches). Did you test this patch with the new PARI (merged in sage-4.8.alpha1)? I am also afraid that there are speed regressions, I am seeing a timeout:

Minor comment: could you format the copyright notice of the added file as shown in http://sagemath.org/doc/developer/conventions.html#headings-of-sage-library-code-files. I am also very surprised to see William Stein in the copyright statement, he is not even an author of this ticket.

If you word-wrap doctest results (which is a good idea), try to word-wrap them more logically, i.e. write
[(-41 : -266 : 1), (-27 : 294 : 1), (-13 : 266 : 1), (19 : 74 : 1), (22 : -49 : 1), (27 : -6 : 1), (29 : -14 : 1), (43 : -154 : 1), (53 : 266 : 1), (71 : 490 : 1), (414 : -8379 : 1), (1639 : 66346 : 1), (1667 : -68054 : 1), (23036693 : 110568192854 : 1)]
instead of
[(-41 : -266 : 1), (-27 : 294 : 1), (-13 : 266 : 1), (19 : 74 : 1), (22 : -49 : 1), (27 : -6 : 1), (29 : -14 : 1), (43 : -154 : 1), (53 : 266 : 1), (71 : 490 : 1), (414 : -8379 : 1), (1639 : 66346 : 1), (1667 : -68054 : 1), (23036693 : 110568192854 : 1)]
