The Number of Real Quadratic Fields Having Units of Negative Norm
نویسنده
چکیده
1991 Mathematics subject classi cation: 11R11, 11D09 We study the density of the set of real quadratic fields for which the norm of the fundamental unit equals 1 inside the set of real quadratic fields containing elements of norm 1. A conjectural density is derived from a single heuristic assumption, and experimental data supporting this assumption are given. We finally discuss how close one can get to proving such conjectural densities.

On the real quadratic fields with certain continued fraction expansions and fundamental units
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the real quadratic number fields $Q(sqrt{d})$ which contain the specific form of the continued fractions expansions of integral basis element where $dequiv 2,3( mod 4)$ is a square free positive integer. Besides, the present paper deals with determining the fundamental unit$$epsilon _{d}=left(t_d+u_dsqrt{d}right) 2left.right > 1$$and $n_d$ and $m_d...
متن کاملDensity computations for real quadratic units
In order to study the density of the set of positive integers d for which the negative Pell equation x2 − dy2 = −1 is solvable in integers, we compute the norm of the fundamental unit in certain well-chosen families of real quadratic orders. A fast algorithm that computes 2-class groups rather than units is used. It is random polynomial-time in log d as the factorization of d is a natural part ...
متن کاملComputing the efficiency interval of decision making units (DMUs) having interval inputs and outputs with the presence of negative data
The basic assumption in data envelopment analysis patterns (DEA) (such as the CCR andBCC models) is that the value of data related to the inputs and outputs is a precise andpositive number, but most of the time in real conditions of business, determining precisenumerical value is not possible in for some inputs or outputs. For this purpose, differentmodels have been proposed in DEA for imprecis...
متن کاملContinued Fractions and Class Number Two
We use the theory of continued fractions in conjunction with ideal theory (often called the infrastructure) in real quadratic fields to give new class number 2 criteria and link this to a canonical norm-induced quadratic polynomial. By doing so, this provides a real quadratic field analogue of the well-known result by Hendy (1974) for complex quadratic fields. We illustrate with several example...
متن کاملCyclotomic units and Greenberg's conjecture for real quadratic fields
We give new examples of real quadratic fields k for which the Iwasawa invariant λ3(k) and μ3(k) are both zero by calculating cyclotomic units of real cyclic number fields of degree 18.
