In this paper, we make a study of the Iwasawa theory of an elliptic curve at a supersingular prime p along an arbitrary Zp-extension of a number field K in the case when p splits completely in K. Generalizing work of Kobayashi and Perrin-Riou, we define restricted Selmer groups and λ^±, μ^±-invariants; we then derive asymptotic formulas describing the growth of the Selmer group in terms of these invariants. To be able to work with non-cyclotomic Zp-extensions, a new local result is proven that gives a complete description of the formal group of an elliptic curve at a supersingular prime along any ramified Zp-extension of Qp.
