Mordell's equation has a finite number of integral solutions for all nonzero n.
Gebel, Petho, and Zimmer (1998) computed the solutions for |n| <= 10^4. Bennett and Ghadermarzi (2015) extended this bound to |n| <= 10^7.
Sequence A054504 gives n for which there are no integral solutions. See A081120 for the number of integral solutions to y^2 = x^3 - n.
a(n) is odd iff n is a cube. - Bernard Schott, Nov 23 2019
From Jianing Song, Aug 24 2022: (Start)
a(n) = 5 if n is a sixth power. Further more, if A060950(n) = 0 (namely the elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 + n has rank 0), then:
- a(n) = 2 if n is a square but not a sixth power;
- a(n) = 1 if n is a cube but not a sixth power;
- a(n) = 0 otherwise.
This follows from the complete description of the torsion group of y^2 = x^3 + n, using O to denote the point at infinity (see Exercise 10.19 of Chapter X of Silverman's Arithmetic of elliptic curves):
- If n = t^6 is a sixth power, then the torsion group consists of O, (2*t^2,+-3*t^3), (0,+-t^3), and (-t^2, 0).
- If n = t^2 is not a sixth power, then the torsion group consists of O and (0,+-t).
- If n = t^3 is not a sixth power, then the torsion group consists of O and (-t,0).
- If n is of the form -432*t^6, then the torsion group consists of O and (12*t^2,+-36*t^3).
- In all the other cases, the torsion group is trivial.
So a torsion point on y^2 = x^3 + n other than O is an integral point. If y^2 = x^3 + n has rank 0, then all the integral points on y^2 = x^3 + n are exactly the torsion points other than O.
Note that this result implies particularly that a(n) = a(n*t^6) for all t if A060950(n) = 0: the elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 + n*t^6 can be written as (y/t^3)^2 = (x/t^2)^3 + n, so it has the same Mordell-Weil group (hence the same rank and isomorphic torsion group) as y^2 = x^3 + n. (End)

The elliptic curve X^3 + Y^3 = D*Z^3 where D is a rational integer has a birationally equivalent form y^2*z = x^3 - 2^4*3^3*D^2*z^3 where x = 2^2*3*D*Z, y = 2^2*3^3*D*(Y - X), z = X + Y (see p. 123 of Stephens). Taking z = 1 and 2^2*3^3 = 432 yields y^2 = x^3 - 432*D^2, which is the Weierstrass form of the elliptic curve used by John Voight in the Magma program below. - Ralf Steiner, Nov 11 2017
Zagier and Kramarz studied the analytic rank of the curve E: x^3 + y^3 = m, where m is cubefree. They computed L(E,1) for 0 < m <= 70000 and also L'(E,1) if the sign of the functional equation for L(E,1) was negative. In the second case the range was only 0 < m <= 20000. - Attila Pethő, Posting to the Number Theory List, Nov 11 2017

See A031508 for the smallest negative k. - Artur Jasinski, Nov 21 2011
See A060950 for the rank of y^2 = x^3 + n. - Jonathan Sondow, Sep 10 2013
Gebel, Pethö, & Zimmer: "One experimental observation derived from the tables is that the rank r of Mordell's curves grows according to r = O(log |k|/|log log |k||^(2/3))." Hence this fit suggests a(n) >> exp(n (log n)^(1/3)) where >> is the Vinogradov symbol. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 10 2013
The curves for k and -27*k are isogenous (as Noam Elkies points out---see Womack), so they have the same rank. - Jonathan Sondow, Sep 10 2013
Womack (2003) gives further upper bounds: a(7) <= 47550317, a(8) <= 1632201497, a(9) <= 185418133372, a(10) <= 68513487607153. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 01 2024
The three questions for arbitrary k, positive k, and negative k are not very far from each other because the curves for k and -27k are related by a 3-isogeny and therefore have the same rank. It would be most natural to ask for the minimal |k| for k of either sign [see A373795]. - Noam D. Elkies, Jul 02 2024
a(16) <= 1160221354461565256631205207888 (Elkies, ANTS-XVI, 2024). The same article also establishes the existence of a value of k which has rank >= 17. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 05 2024

Examples

			a(12) <= 27*A031508(12) <= 27*6533891544658786928 = 176415071705787247056 (from Quer 1987 and Womack). - _Jonathan Sondow_, Sep 10 2013
