Review text

The author proposes an algorithm to compute relative class numbers of imaginary abelian number fields. The algorithm requires only \(O(\sqrt f\log f)\) elementary operations for a field of conductor~\(f\). The author's method is based on an exponentially rapidly converging series for generalized Bernoulli numbers. In addition he uses an exponentially rapidly converging series for the Artin root numbers involved. In the last sections of his paper the author presents numerical data for fields of 2-power degree. Most of these regard fields of degree~4.
