Abstract
Let be an elliptic curve defined over by the equation where . A sequence of rational points is said to form a sequence of consecutive squares on if the sequence of -coordinates, , consists of consecutive squares. We produce an infinite family of elliptic curves with a -term sequence of consecutive squares. Furthermore, this sequence consists of five independent rational points in . In particular, the rank of satisfies .
