On a determination of real quadratic fields of class number one and related continued fraction period length less than 25 (Q1178763): Difference between revisions

The authors consider quadratic fields \(\mathbb Q(\sqrt d)\) with class number \(h(d)=1\) related to the period length \(k\) of the continued fraction expansion of \[ (\sigma-1+\sqrt d)/\sigma\text{ with } \sigma=1\text{ if } d\equiv 2,3\pmod 4 \text{ and } \sigma=2 \text{ if } d\equiv 1\pmod 4. \] The authors determine (with one possible exception) all the positive square-free integers \(d\) with \(h(d)=1\) and \(k\leq 24\).
