  text: In this note, we prove a formula for the cancellation exponent  kv,n between
    division polynomials  ψn  and  ϕn  associated with a sequence  {nP}n∈N of points
    on an elliptic curve  E  defined over a discrete valuation field  K. The formula
    greatly generalizes the previously known special cases and treats also the case
    of non-standard Kodaira types for non-perfect residue fields.

  text: "We explore two questions about pseudo-polynomials, which\r\nare functions
    f : N → Z such that k divides f(n + k) −\r\nf(n) for all n, k. First, for certain
    arbitrarily sparse sets R, we\r\nconstruct pseudo-polynomials f with p|f(n) for
    some n only if\r\np ∈ R. This implies that not all pseudo-polynomials satisfy
    an\r\nassumption of a recent paper of Kowalski and Soundararajan.\r\nWe also consider
    α-primary pseudo-polynomials, where the\r\npseudo-polynomial condition is only
    required for k lying in\r\na set of primes of density α. We show that if an α-primary\r\npseudo-polynomial
    is O(e(β−)n), where β = √7\r\n3 − 1\r\n6 ≈ 0.715,\r\nthen it is a polynomial."
