Abstract: Stroeker and Tzanakis gave convincing numerical and heuristic evidence for the fact that in their $ \mathcal{E}llog$ method a certain parameter $ \lambda$ plays a decisive role in the size of the final bound for the integral points on elliptic curves. Furthermore, they provided an algorithm to determine the Mordell-Weil basis of the curve which corresponds to the optimal choice of $ \lambda$. In this paper we show that working with more Mordell-Weil bases simultaneously, the final bound for the integral points can be further decreased.
