  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • In this paper, we prove that the Hilbert 2-class field tower of an imaginary quadratic function field $F=k({\sqrt{D})$ is infinite if $r_2({\mathcal{C}}(F))=4$ and exactly one monic irreducible divisor of D is of odd degree, except for one type of $R{\acute{e}}dei$ matrix of F. We also compute the density of such imaginary quadratic function fields F.
