In recent papers [10, 11, 12, 13, 14], we defined some new ρ-invariants for any rational prime ρ congruent to 1 mod 4 and D-invariants for any positive square-free integer D such that the fundamental unit εD of real quadratic field Q(√D) satisfies NεD = –1, and studied relationships among these new invariants and already known invariants.One of our main purposes in this paper is to generalize these D-invariants to invariants valid for all square-free positive integers containing D with NεD = 1. Another is to provide an improvement of the theorem in [14] related closely to class number one problem of real quadratic fields. Namely, we provide, in a sense, a most appreciable estimation of the fundamental unit to be able to apply, as usual (cf. [3, 4, 5, 9, 12, 13]), Tatuzawa’s lower bound of L(l, XD) (Cf[7]) for estimating the class number of Q(√D) from below by using Dirichlet’s classical class number formula.

AbstractDifferent types of number theories such as elementary number theory, algebraic number theory and computational number theory; algebra; cryptology; security and also other scientific fields like artificial intelligence use applications of quadratic fields. Quadratic fields can be separated into two parts such as imaginary quadratic fields and real quadratic fields. To work or determine the structure of real quadratic fields is more difficult than the imaginary one.The Dirichlet class number formula is defined as a special case of a more general class number formula satisfying any types of number field. It includes regulator, ℒ-function, Dedekind zeta function and discriminant for the field. The Dirichlet’s class number h(d) formula in real quadratic fields claims that we have h\left(d \right).log {\varepsilon _d} = \sqrt {\Delta} {\scr L} \left({1,\;{\chi _d}}\right) for positive d > 0 and the fundamental unit ɛd of {\rm{\mathbb Q}}\left({\sqrt d} \right) . It is seen that discriminant, ℒ-function and fundamental unit ɛd are significant and necessary tools for determining the structure of real quadratic fields.The focus of this paper is to determine structure of some special real quadratic fields for d > 0 and d ≡ 2,3 (mod4). In this paper, we provide a handy technique so as to calculate particular continued fraction expansion of integral basis element wd, fundamental unit ɛd, and so on for such real quadratic number fields. In this paper, we get fascinating results in the development of real quadratic fields.
