Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the ϕ(ϕ^) \phi (\hat{\phi})-Selmer groups S(ϕ)(E/\Q) S^{(\phi)} (E / \Q) and S(φ^)(E/\Q) S^{(\hat{\varphi})} (E^{\prime} / \Q) of elliptic curves y2=x(x+ϵpD)(x+ϵqD) y^{2} = x (x + \epsilon p D) (x + \epsilon q D) via descent theory (see [S, Chapter X]), in particular, we obtain that the Selmer groups of several families of such elliptic curves can be arbitrary large.
