Abstract Let π: S→ P 1 be an elliptic surface over the complex numbers. Let E be the generic fiber of S. Then E is a curve of genus 1 which we assume has a rational point over K= C (u). By the Mordell-Weil theorem, one knows that E (K) is finitely generated. In this paper the author uses the canonical height pairing to help in determining E (K). In particular, suppose that the rank of E (K) is r. Then the author is interested in determining whether r sections form a basis. As an illustration, the author examines the equation A 4+ B 4= C 4+ D 4
