Abstract
In this paper we determine second-order linear recurrence sequences in Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves over number fields without complex multiplication having almost all primes as divisors. We also consider more general groups of Mordell-Weil type.

We drew inspiration form Prof. Schinzel's lecture on recursive sequences and congruences he gave in Poznań in 2016 at the Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry Seminar organized by G. Banaszak and P. Krasoń.
