Abstract
In studying rational points on elliptic K3 surfaces of the form , where are cubic or quartic polynomials (without repeated roots), we introduce a condition on the quadratic twists of two elliptic curves having simultaneously positive Mordell-Weil rank. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the Zariski density of rational points by using this condition, and we relate it to the Hilbert property. Applying to surfaces of Cassels-Schinzel type, we prove unconditionally that rational points are dense both in Zariski topology and in real topology.
