We give an elementary criterion for the norm of the fundamental unit $\varepsilon_K$ of $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt M)$, $M$ square-free. More precisely, if $\varepsilon_K = a+b\sqrt M$, $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$ or $\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}$, its norm…

Let $\ k$ be a natural number and $d=k^{2}\pm 4$ or $k^{2}\pm 1$. In this paper, by using continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt{d},$ we find fundamental solution of the equations $x^{2}-dy^{2}=\pm 1$ and we get all positive integer…

It has been well known since Gauss that the principality of an ideal in a real quadratic field $K$ is equivalent to the solvability of a certain generalized Pell equations. In this paper, we combine this classical result with Srinivasan's…

We use the polynomials $m_s(t) = t^2 - 4 s$, $s \in \{-1, 1\}$, in an elementary process giving arbitrary large lists of {\it fundamental units} of quadratic fields of discriminants listed in ascending order. More precisely, let $\mathbf{B}…
