Function: ellheight Section: elliptic_curves C-Name: ellheight0 Prototype: GGDGp Help: ellheight(E,P,{Q}): canonical height of point P on elliptic curve E, resp. the value of the associated bilinear form at (P,Q). Doc: global N\'eron-Tate height $h(P)$ of the point $P$ on the elliptic curve $E/\Q$, using the normalization in Cremona's \emph{Algorithms for modular elliptic curves}. $E$ must be an \kbd{ell} as output by \kbd{ellinit}; it needs not be given by a minimal model although the computation will be faster if it is. If the argument $Q$ is present, computes the value of the bilinear form $(h(P+Q)-h(P-Q)) / 4$. Variant: Also available is \fun{GEN}{ellheight}{GEN E, GEN P, long prec} ($Q$ omitted).
