I'm not sure who first discovered entries 4 and 5 and I expect that they had been previously proved to be the smallest values, (cont.) %C A060748 but I have rechecked that they are minimal for their respective rank using a combination of 3-descent, MAGMA and John Cremona's program mwrank. (cont.) %C A060748 There are new smaller values for ranks 6 and 7, namely k = 9902523 has rank 6 and k = 1144421889 has rank 7. 3-descent combined with Ian Connell's package apecs for Maple verifies that these are minimal subject to the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for L-functions associated to elliptic curves. (cont.) %C A060748 Finally, there are new entries for ranks 8 and 9: k = 1683200989470 has rank 8 and k = 148975046052222390 has rank 9. It seems somewhat likely that the rank 8 example is minimal.
