## On certain real quadratic fields with class number one.(English)Zbl 0963.11064

For a positive square-free integer $$D$$, denote by $$\varepsilon_D= (t+u\sqrt{D})/2$$ the fundamental unit $$(>1)$$ of the real quadratic field $$k= \mathbb Q(\sqrt{D})$$. Then, the reviewer showed that there exist exactly 30 real quadratic fields $$\mathbb Q(\sqrt{p})$$ of class number one satisfying $$\varepsilon_p< 2p$$ with one more possible exception of prime discriminant $$p$$ [Nagoya Math. J. 120, 51-59 (1990; Zbl 0701.11046)]. Since then, Katayama, Mollin-Williams and others have shown some analogous results on the class number one problem, and in this paper the authors found the following five real quadratic fields $$\mathbb Q(\sqrt{D})$$ with class number one for $$1\leq u\leq 100$$ with one possible exception by the help of a computer and using Kida’s UBASIC 86: $$(u,D)= (40,57), (77,893), (78,19), (84,22), (85,1397)$$.
