The greatest common valuation of $ϕ_{n}$ and $ψ_{n}^{2}$ at points on elliptic curves

Given a minimal model of an elliptic curve, $E/K$, over a finite extension, $K$, of ${\mathbb Q}_{p}$ for any rational prime, $p$, and any point $P \in E(K)$ of infinite order, we determine precisely $\min \left( v \left( ϕ_{n}(P) \right), v \left( ψ_{n}^{2}(P) \right) \right)$, where $v$ is a normalised valuation on $K$ and $ϕ_{n}(P)$ and $ψ_{n}(P)$ are polynomials arising from multiplication by $n$ for this model of the curve.

Primitive Divisors of Certain Elliptic Divisibility Sequences

Let $P$ be a non-torsion point on the elliptic curve $E_{a}: y^{2}=x^{3}+ax$. We show that if $a$ is fourth-power-free and either $n>2$ is even or $n>1$ is odd with $x(P)<0$ or $x(P)$ a perfect square, then the $n$-th element of the elliptic divisibility sequence generated by $P$ always has a primitive divisor.
