Abstract
Let be an elliptic curve defined over the rationals and in minimal Weierstrass form, and let be a rational point of infinite order on , where are coprime integers. We show that the integer sequence defined by for all does not eventually coincide with for any choice of linear recurrence sequence with integer values.
