  • In this paper, we will introduce the notion of the real quadratic function fields of minimal type, which is a function field analogue to Kawamoto and Tomita's notion of real quadratic fields of minimal type. As number field cases, we will show that there are exactly 6 real quadratic function fields of class number one that are not of minimal type.

  • In this paper, we present new bounds on the fundamental units of real quadratic fields ${\mathbb{Q}}({\sqrt{d}})$ using the continued fraction expansion of the integral basis element of the field. Furthermore, we apply these bounds to Dirichlet's class number formula. Consequently, we provide computational advantages to estimate the class numbers of such fields. We also give some numerical examples.

  • We examine fundamental units of quadratic function fields from continued fraction of $\sqrt{D}$. As a consequence, we give another proof of geometric analog of Ankeny-Artin-Chowla-Mordell conjecture and bounds for class number, and study real quadratic function fields of minimal type with quasi-period 4.

  • Abstract. For a positive square-free integer m, let K = ℚ($\sqrt{m}$) be a real quadratic field. The relative class number Hd(f) of K of discriminant d is the ratio of class numbers 𝒪K and 𝒪f, where 𝒪K is the ring of integers of K and 𝒪f is the order of conductor f given by ℤ + f𝒪K. In 1856, Dirichlet showed that for certain m there exists an infinite number of f such that the relative class number Hd(f) is one. But it remained open as to whether there exists such an f for each m. In this paper, we give a result for existence of real quadratic field ℚ($\sqrt{m}$) with relative class number one where the period of continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt{m}$ is 6.

  • For a positive square-free integer $d$, let $t_d$ and $u_d$ be positive integers such that ${\epsilon}_d=\frac{t_d+u_d{\sqrt{d}}}{\sigma}$ is the fundamental unit of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$, where ${\sigma}=2$ if $d{\equiv}1$ (mod 4) and ${\sigma}=1$ otherwise For a given positive integer $l$ and a palindromic sequence of positive integers $a_1$, ${\ldots}$, $a_{l-1}$, we define the set $S(l;a_1,{\ldots},a_{l-1})$ := {$d{\in}\mathbb{Z}|d$ > 0, $\sqrt{d}=[a_0,\overline{a_1,{\ldots},2a_0}]$}. We prove that $u_d$ < $d$ for all square-free integer $d{\in}S(l;a_1,{\ldots},a_{l-1})$ with one possible exception and apply it to Ankeny-Artin-Chowla conjecture and Mordell conjecture.
