Saturation of Mordell-Weil Groups of Elliptic Curves over Number Fields

Given a subgroup B of a finitely-generated abelian group A, the saturation B of B is defined to be the largest subgroup of A containing B with finite index. In this thesis we consider a crucial step in the determination of the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve, E(K). Methods such as Descent m...
