A Mordell curve is a type of algebraic curve defined by a specific type of equation. More formally, it can be described as an elliptic curve given by a Weierstrass equation of the form: \[ y^2 = x^3 + k \] where \( k \) is a constant. These curves are named after the mathematician Louise Mordell, who studied the properties of such equations and their rational points.
