Abstract

We investigate a problem on squares that are produced by recurrence formulas, and show that the solutions to the problem are parametrized by a certain rational variety. The form of the defining equation enables us to find some periodic solutions, and leads to the study of the group of sections of an elliptic threefold. We show the rank of the group is greater than or equal to two.
