KEYWORDS: abc-theorem, elliptic surface, 14J27, 14J28
We consider the application of the abc-theorem and Davenport’s inequality to elliptic surfaces over the projective line $\mathbf{P}^{1}$, with special attention to the case of equality in the abc-theorem. Some existence theorem and the finiteness results will be given for certain type of elliptic surfaces.
