Class Number Two for Real Quadratic Fields of Richaud-Degert Type

Mollin, R. A. (2009)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 11D09, 11A55, 11C08, 11R11, 11R29; Secondary: 11R65, 11S40; 11R09.This paper contains proofs of conjectures made in [16] on class number 2 and what this author has dubbed the Euler-Rabinowitsch polynomial for real quadratic fields. As well, we complete the list of Richaud-Degert types given in [16] and show how the behaviour of the Euler-Rabinowitsch polynomials and certain continued fraction expansions come into play in the complete determination...

Composite rational functions expressible with few terms

Clemens Fuchs, Umberto Zannier (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider a rational function f which is ‘lacunary’ in the sense that it can be expressed as the ratio of two polynomials (not necessarily coprime) having each at most a given number ℓ of terms. Then we look at the possible decompositions f ( x ) = g ( h ( x ) ) , where g , h are rational functions of degree larger than 1. We prove that, apart from certain exceptional cases which we completely describe, the degree of g is bounded only in terms of ℓ (and we provide explicit bounds). This supports and quantifies the intuitive...

Concordant sequences and integral-valued entire functions

Jonathan Pila, Fernando Rodriguez Villegas (1999)

Acta Arithmetica

A classic theorem of Pólya shows that the function 2 z is the “smallest” integral-valued entire transcendental function. A variant due to Gel’fond applies to entire functions taking integral values on a geometric progression of integers, and Bézivin has given a generalization of both results. We give a sharp formulation of Bézivin’s result together with a further generalization.
