What’s the secp256k1 elliptic curve’s rank ?

[edit]

Simple question : what’s the rank of secp256k1 ?
I failed to find how compute the rank of an elliptic curve using the version of online tools like SageMath or Pari/gp since it’s the only thing I have access to… 2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:9CB:33F3:E8EB:8A5D (talk) 15:44, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know a clear answer but a related question is discussed here. 2601:644:8581:75B0:0:0:0:2CDE (talk) 01:57, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although I know it doesn t normally apply to this curvd, I was reading this paper https://pdfupload.io/docs/4ef85049. As a result, I am very curious about knowing the rank of secp256k1 which is why I asked it especially if it allows me know how to compute them on ordinary curves. 2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:417A:1147:400C:C498 (talk) 11:01, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe by some chance, this might have the answer. ExclusiveEditor Notify Me! 19:20, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Same question by same questioner, so not by chance.  --Lambiam 06:51, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, It’s me who asked the question. He didn’t replied to my last comment about the elliptic curve prime case. I’m meaning the paper 2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:9CB:33F3:E8EB:8A5D (talk) 07:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
